Ebola Projects Funded by World Renew in Liberia

On February 24, 2015 By Harry and Annie Bergshoeff

We love being involved with World Renew!  Functioning as the development, disaster response, and justice arm of the Christian Reformed Church in North America, the aspects of World Renew’s work are three-fold: community development, disaster response and rehabilitation, and advocacy. Although it is not normally involved in providing direct medical assistance, they felt compelled to respond to the terrible Ebola crisis in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.

Ebola – The Multi-faceted Consequences

On February 17, 2015 By Harry and Annie Bergshoeff

“Some of my family caught the Ebola virus.  My two aunties and uncles who lived in one home with their children, were quarantined in their house and given instructions on how to avoid spreading the virus to others.  My two uncles did not catch the virus but both of my aunties and my five cousins died.  Many members of their community also died as people did not take the prevention warnings seriously.“

“My friend in the next county lost his wife and two children.  I have not been able to contact him to say I am so sorry.” 

“My neighbor and his roommate both died because of Ebola. My friend who is a barber also passed away.  My mother is very fearful and strict with all of our family about keeping up Ebola precautions.”
