In traditional Liberia, palava huts are gathering places for important discussions, and casual gatherings. The American Cooperative School, Monrovia that I attended in the late 1970s, had a palava hut. The guesthouse at our Monrovia headquarters has a palava hut where we can sit in the shade and catch a breeze while we discuss the next day’s plans or just kick back and relax. Most rural villages have a palava hut. It is a place of community, a place of sharing.
Our blogs are a digital palava hut of sorts, where we invite you to hear about our trips and our memories of when we lived in Liberia. You learn about our exciting plans and the progress we’ve made toward accomplishing our goals. We hope our blogs also open your eyes to some of the pain and joy experienced by the fistula survivors.
Because ours is a virtual palava hut, we cannot see who has joined us. We know people have stopped by, but we don’t know if they’ve lingered, or hurried on their way. So please do us a favor and like our posts. Take us to your own “palava hut” by sharing our posts to your Facebook page. If you are curious about something in a blog, or if you have information pertaining to it, please let us know. Comment on our web site. We would love to hear from you.
Let’s palava!
