Before sharing the beautiful and interesting murals and
designs I saw on the buildings in Zondo, I just want to say a few things about
the amazing man who was our guide.
Arthur Crusoe is the sort of man who adopts war orphans and raises them
as his own. He is the sort of man that
leaves a good paying job (by Liberian standards) in Monrovia so that he can
oversee a school in rural Zondo to educate his people. He is extremely overqualified for this job
and also extremely underpaid for his work.
He shared with us stories from Zondo’s past and hopes for Zondo’s
future. Arthur is also one of the presenters that the people of Zondo picked to speak when the President of Liberia, Madame Ellen Sirleaf Johnson, visited [view here].
Back to the tour of Zondo…. I will let the pictures of the
murals and designs speak for themselves although one of the murals involves a
riddle-story that I will explain in full in a later post.
