Wow! We went to visit James at the Green Center today, and all left awestruck by his vision and purpose. He has such a clear mission for the young people of Liberia, to participate in bringing about improvement and change for their country. He talked about all of the six components of the Green Center:
1. Composting (the most critical piece)
2. Recyclables
3. Production
4. Application of composting
5. Motor oil (reuse)
6. Educating youth
He has a social and economic mission for young people to find jobs in improving the health of Liberia.
He agreed to visit the school here and share his vision with the teachers and students. We hope to see real application of the concept of sorting, composting, and recycling. As James said, we must attach value to waste, so that people will be inspired to do something about it.
We did take lots of pictures and even recorded part of our interview with him, which I will share when I am back home and have strong enough access.
Such an inspiring visit!
