The SOS delegation headed by the President, Siddhartha Kaul, included the Deputy Operations Officer, Tom Malvet, the International Regional Director, Benoit Poit who were accompany by the Acting National Director, Simon Tokjohozin and one of the Board members, Cllr. Mr. Kaul hoped that Liberia can be a good partner to the SOS family now that there is a long existence of peace; acknowledging that Liberia has more needs, he said a peaceful transition will be the best assurance for better partnership. He realized that child mortality is still on the increase in Liberia as well as health and education issues and with the finalizing of the SOS goals at the close of last year, youth care is now a priority especially for Africa. The SOS International president assured the Minister of his organization’s increased commitment to Liberia’s recovery agenda even though its income was a little bit stagnant due to the active involvement in the migration crisis in Europe. Minister Duncan Cassell thanked the SOS International guests for the visit and assured that Liberia remains a partner of the SOS International family indicating that there are lots of challenges in the country yet there are more opportunities.
