Hello from Monrovia
Hello from Monrovia, Liberia where we are launching Baby Basics Africa! For those interested, Liberia was the African country created by the US to 'repatriate" the slaves after the Civil War. Their flag looks like ours but with a single star. Liberia is famouus today as the war-ravaged country formerly led by Charles Taylor, who was indicted 2 weeks ago for war crimes. (And gave Naomi Campbell a honking huge diamond necklace that she accepted before she realized he was a warlord...oops) I will be here for a week to meet the women and men who are working to rebuild the country with hope for the future. I'll keep sharing pictures and stories (internet connection permitting), but I'm trying to figure out how to post on The What To Expect Foundation facebook page instead of my personal page so only those who are interested have to hear about it. If you want to learn more search for The What To Expect Foundation site, and like it so you will know when I can post updates...
