George Weah dedicates "HONORS DEGREE" to poor children. In his statement to his many admires and supporters, who travelled far and wide, from the slums of Liberia to the mansions of America, Ambassador George Manneh Weah, now vice standard bearer of the Mighty Congress for Democratic Change , had this to say:
“All I think about now is the kid who is spending sleepless nights draining water from bedrooms, just as I used to do with my grandmother. What future is there for these kids? Maybe they may not... be as talented as I was to break out of poverty. I had to get a college degree to inspire them so that they see school and education as the way out for them. I dedicate this degree to all such suffering children and people just as I dedicate my politics to free them from misery.

AFRICAN WOMEN SUCCESS
Lovetta was born just before her home country of Liberia exploded into conflict, another chapter in what became years of war.
Forced to leave her mother behind and flee her native Liberia due to civil war, Lovetta lived with her father as a refugee in Guinea and Cote d'Ivoire, before settling in Buduburam Refugee Camp in Ghana to await the end of the war. At times, financial difficulties forced her father to leave the camp to look for work and Lovetta stayed with various families, seldom in one place very long in the sprawling refugee camp of 47,000.
Despite the instability in her life, Lovetta quickly became a leader among her peers. She worked with a team of American volunteers to build a school for unaccompanied minors and distinguished herself by doggedly advocating for special education for sight-impaired children, motivated by concern for her young friend who was without educational opportunities due to his vision impairment.
