The Country Director of the Child Steps International has challenged Liberians to love Liberia “unconditionally” if the country’s developmental drive will rise at the level of European countries and other parts of the world.
According to Director Otis S. Bundor, loving Liberia ‘unconditionally’ requires that Liberians be patriotic in all of their doings, and way of life should show it rather than words, noting “we need to change for good”.
Director Bundor made the statement on Friday November 19, 2020 at a program marking the 10th thanksgiving and closing exercises of the K-2 and 9th grade classes of the Evelyn S. Chapman United Methodist School in New Georgia outside Monrovia.
He noted that patriotism means devotion , loyalty to country rather than to president, senator and representative.
Director Bundor maintained that it is important to become a patriot and depends on your ability to know about your civic responsibility and the history of the country, which you called your own.
He stressed that Liberia needs more patriots who will start to influence others positively, patriots who will stop calling Liberia an “ Elephant meat” but rather, a land of “ Milk and Honey’’ for all Liberians.
He explained that Liberians should stop thinking that it is only in European countries and United States of America they can live a better life, instead, they should start thinking to make Liberia a better place through their efforts.
Bundor emphasized that Liberians should embraced real change through a patriotic mindset which is one of the key factors for the transformation of Liberia socio and economic development in the near future.
