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!

House Speaker Alex Tyler has confirmed escorting Senator Richard Devine to the Temple of Justice following his indictment.
Senator Richard Devine was last week indicted by government on the charge of economic sabotage.
The House Speaker said he personally escorted Senator Devine to the court after he was asked to do so.
Speaker Tyler said he was requested by Senator Devine to drive him to the court.
He said it was not a crime to do so and promised not to take side in the case.
There have been public concerns surrounding the extra escort provided by the House Speaker to Senator Devine.
Senator Devine was indicted along with Representative Edwin Snowe, former Transitional Chairman Gyude Bryant and two others.
Government accused the men of allegedly embezzling nearly one million United States from the LPRC during the transitional period.
