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!
CSA calls for calm between NEC, political parties
Written by Hilary Vasco Wiagbe
Thursday, 15 May 2008
The Civil Servants Association has called on the National Elections Commission and political parties in the country to tolerate each other’s views.
The association said there has been what it called animosities between the NEC and opposition political parties since the 2005 General and Presidential Elections.
A statement issued by the association said utterances between NEC and political parties in recent time have the propensity to arouse conflict.
It said the utterances often result to what the association termed unhealthy rivalries, something which could undermine peace, security and democratic governance.
The statement also urged the National Election Commission to initiate measures aimed at ensuring improved relationship with political parties.
It wants NEC do everything possible to discharge its duties in a manner that guarantees its neutrality so that elections outcomes can be considered credible.
