    Humanitarian volunteer work

    Since 2013 I have been helping refugees from Ivory Coast and Liberian civil wars re-establish themselves. Initially I rent apartments for refugees, purchase land, build cinder block homes, help them repatriate, find gainful employment, and farm on the land I give them. Refugees who cannot repatriate I help relocate to permanent new lives through UN programs. November 2015 my efforts became a registered Liberian NGO called Hope For Tomorrow. Thus far I have helped many hundreds of refugees.
