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. 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. Minister Cassell realized that taking care of children from an early stage sets the platform for fewer problems with the youth and disclosed that Liberia is going more into public-private partnerships in terms of health, education and child protection.
