Children play and learn with Tuzee Toure

Tuzee Mariama Toure is passionate about sustainable peace and a better Liberia for all. Recently, this amazing young woman and her friends came together to set up a new program at a children's park.

The Chevron Monrovia Central Park, situated at Vai Town, was officially opened by Liberia's former president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, in 2014.

During the opening ceremony, Sirleaf said the park will go a long way in allowing the Liberian child to play once again. 

Every Saturday, Tuzee and her friends read to children and help them with their homework.--Written By Kamal Anisiobi.
