Mahmud selected by PSI/Liberia and UNMIL Radio to co-Host Radio Show

Dear All,
I am happy to inform you all that in conjunction to my Ministry of State Internship, I have another job! It’s a radio job (y’all know I can’t leave my journalism behind).
It’s a Radio Show called ‘Let’s Talk About Sex” sponsored by PSI/Liberia in partnership with UNMIL Radio. The show airs every Saturday afternoon at 2:30 PM on UNMIL Radio, and it’s repeated on Thursdays at 11:30 in the morning. The show aims to promote responsible sexual behavior amongst young people in Liberia with the overall goal of minimizing the high stats of HIV and Teenage pregnancy. 1: 30 AM. I want you all to listen, and tell me what you think.
We are four persons who co-host the show. My colleagues are Janice Pratt, Bookman Muapoe, and Kula Fofana. The photo you see here is a photo taken at our launch event. The two older people were our interviewees at the launch event. The Lady in green is Lovetta Warner (C. K. A Love is Wicked) and she is a person living with HIV. The other lady in the lappa suit is Nurse Comfort Dunbar, IEC/PRO of the Family Planning Association of Liberia. Barrie, Sinclair and Vonyee were there.
Anyone of y’all na born baby? (Uncle Mahmud here o!) I missing y’all o… y’all missing me too? Hey.. let’s hang out sometime!

Hugs… many love and kisses,
Mahmud

Mahmud Interns in the Office of the President

The President of the Class, Mahmud Johnson now interns in the Public Affairs Department of the Ministry of State/ Office of the President.

Interning in the Ministry gives Mahmud a broader knowledge on a wide range of issues. “It is challenging, but it is worth it; I get to meet a lot of important people, and I even get to do tasks that I never knew I could do,” were the words of Mahmud when we caught up with him during his quite tight schedule.
This class is going forward! Let us all continue to work in making each other proud!

James Leaves for South Africa

Our own man, James Kiawoin is to leave the country today (Wednesday, September 3, 2008) for South Africa, where he enters a Pan-African Academy (African Leadership Academy- http://www.africanleadershipacademy.org/).

James is going to South Africa as a result of a scholarship granted through the courtesy of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of the Republic of Liberia.

Young Kiawoin is an extremely brilliant young man. Being one of the youngest in the entire class, he was fourteen years old when he graduated. James was the Vice President of the Class.

Let us all pray for him in all his endeavors, as his success is our success!
