Great Surprise!!!!!
Computers need power. Batteries need recharging. Geekan is off the grid and presently powerless. A renewable source of power would not only power computers, but would also allow the campus to be used for adult literacy classes in the evening and possibly provide refrigeration for medication from the village health clinic.
I received a phone call from Victor Helb of the Liberian Literacy Foundation. His organization provides educational resources, builds libraries and delivers renewable energy to Liberia. Victor proposed that the Liberian Literacy Foundation install a wind/solar power system and establish a library at the Geekan school. The Geekan people have agreed to make their facility available to the wider community of River Gee county.
Pending resources, Victor hopes to have a team of engineers visit Geekan to install a renewable energy system sometime between December and March 2009.

Swen-nyonnoh,
Thank you again for your effort in getting Geeken on a good footing. We will always appreciate you.
Have you gotten photos of the building? Those photos are photos of the time I was in Geeken. Most of bricks are layed since. We love every idea of yours that will help Geeken on the matters of education. Geeken will be glad to have such facilities like the library, Adult Literacy and everything that will help our people to begin the see good things that our forefathers longed for us.
There is a plan for the Administrative Committee to go home in Geeken. A trip just to thing our people for their untiring effort.
Like I told the Geeken people and I mentioned in some mails I sent to you; I will sure leave Monrovia to go home to stay so that your effort and the effort of all of us not be in vain. As I live I will see to it that Geeken citizens - the youth get some computer training.
Thank you,
Geeken Must Gooooo!!!!

Swen-nyonoh,
I just returned in Monrovia from Geeken. Much progress has been made on our modern school building.90% of the bricks have already being made.The building itself has been roofed-nice- looking. All the Geeken people send their greetings to you. They say you need to come for the dedication.What you think? The news of the 10 laptops has been received with much joy.
Please send some money for me to be able to develop and print the pictures I took.
