You are cordially invited…
Please join friends, colleagues, organizations and community members to celebrate and support the reunion of Leo Johnson and his family in Liberia after being separated by war for 13 years. This trip will be also dedicated to developing the site that will host post-war Liberia’s first library, a project currently being planned by Empowerment Squared.

Leo’s effort in our community since his arrival four years ago as a government sponsored refugee will be celebrated and recognized.

All donations and gifts will go towards supporting Leo’s reunion trip expenses and the site development efforts of The Campaign for the Samuel Morris Memorial Library and Community Centre.
