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!
Senior Police Officer dismisses Public Works Ministry's claims
Written by Onesimus Leigh
Thursday, 15 May 2008
A Police Inspector has denied claimed by the Public Works Ministry that he obstructed a demolition exercise on the Pipeline Road in Paynesville.
Inspector David Saye said there is an old age land dispute between him and one Madam Yassah Zubah but he has never obstructed government’s development.
He told Star radio the land quarrel has been between them since two years ago and Madam Zubah has been taking him to the Public Works Minister.
Mr. Saye said he has taken the matter to the Police authorities and alleged Madam Zubah was in the constant habit of bringing people to demolish his house.
However, the Public Works Ministry said the structure will at all cost be demolished as long as it is built in violation of the zoning law of the state.
The ministry said it was very regrettable for Inspector Saye to exhibit such attitude after he had asked the ministry during earlier demolition exercises for time to relocate his family.
