You may recall from a previous blog that in traditional Liberia, palava huts are gathering places for important discussions and casual gatherings. Before the Rehab Center in Phebe built its modern classrooms last year, the kitchen was an open-air structure that served as the center’s palava hut. Over time, it had fallen into a state of disrepair. Once the new education building was built, the kitchen was torn down. In this day of texting and instant messaging this may not seem like a big deal. However, in a culture where an emphasis is placed on assembling together to share news, the loss of a central gathering place is distressing.
The Rehab Center asked if Dignity:Liberia could help. At our January 2018 board meeting, we decided to do just that. By a unanimous vote, Dignity:Liberia approved funding the building of a palava hut for the Rehab Center.
Construction is well underway and we want to share the pictures that Kathi recently received. We thank all of you who have generously donated to support the fistula survivors.
