educational development for the
youth in Liberia.
This year, FSLB will embark on
an ambitious agenda to raise a
significant amount of revenue
through a series of national
fundraising events. Fulfillment
of Scholarships from one of our
supporters for prestigious
student athletes from Liberia to
attend High School in the U.S.A.
