Liberia celebrates a national day of Thanksgiving on the first Thursday in November. Traditionally, churches gather large baskets of fruit that are auctioned off featuring local items like mango and papaya. The highest bidder then takes the baskets home to share with family and friends.

Many of the staff of Hope International gathered on November 2nd in celebration of Thanksgiving to paint the newest building on Hope International’s campus which holds the medical clinic and the school cafeteria.

Thank you staff for showing up each and every day and setting an example of dedication and professionalism for your students.
