Global Giving is an on-line marketplace which allows people to donate to international projects that appeal to their interests and STAR radio is now a Global Giving project! This means that our American supporters may now make tax-deductible donations to STAR.
Humanity United gives STAR radio generous grant
One of our top goals this year at STAR radio is to
broaden our base of support to include new types of donor and partners from
different countries. This was achieved
this year when Global Giving (www.globalgiving.com)
agreed to our request to include STAR Radio on its internet platform which
allows individuals to fund international
projects of interest, and for Americans to donate on a tax-free basis. Since we posted a project description on
Global Giving four months ago, STAR Radio has earned a total of $3,000 donated
by a dozen individuals. We learned recently that Humanity United, a
grant-making organization based in California, will donate $130,000 to STAR
Radio in Liberia through the Global Giving site. Many
thanks to Global Giving and Humanity United for their generous support to STAR
radio!
LDI expresses disappointment with Pres. Sirleaf

The Liberia Democratic Institute says it is disappointed with President Sirleaf’s comments on the Not Guilty verdict from the treason case.
The LDI said comments by President Sirleaf that that Judge who handed down the Not Guilty verdict should go and sin no more is worrisome.
LDI Executive Director, Dan Saryee said the Liberian leader’s statement has terrible implications.
Mr. Saryee said Madam Sirleaf’s comments clearly indict the Judge of wrongly handling down the verdict.
Meanwhile, the LDI boss called on government to pay reparation to General Charles Julu and retired col. Andrew Dorbor for wrongfully detaining them.
Mr. Saryee also called on Justice Minister Phillip Banks to unconditionally withdraw his statement that Judge Peter Gbenewleh’s verdict was a show of incompetence.
