Volunteer’s Testimonials
Melisa Yhap, GPFA Volunteer
“Volunteering through the Gbowee Peace Foundation Africa (GPFA) gives me the opportunity to give back to a community that taught me so much while I was growing up. I believe that everyone, regardless of gender, race or class, deserves a quality education and the Book Bag Drive, along with other scholarship programs offered through GPFA gives the Liberian youth opportunities to obtain the knowledge required to drive the Liberian society forward.”
Prince Cooper, GPFA Alumni
“Owing to the many experiences as a PeaceJam mentor, I felt fortunate to serve as MC for PeaceJam Liberia in 2019, where we had a major donor, Brian Kelley, in Liberia for the first time. It was a remarkable event for me. This year was all about celebrating myself. It was awesome! We had new mentors on board from Liberia and Ghana, some of whom had a lot to share. Again and again, tomorrow be tomorrow, I will always love being part of PeaceJam because it heals the war in me whenever I listen to others' stories.”
Liz Brown, International Student
“I had such an amazing experience at GPFA this summer. The staff was kind, welcoming and so clearly dedicated to lifting up and supporting Liberia’s women and children. I learned so much from the children that I met too — both the scholars and campers — about resilience and the ways that education can change not just individuals but the country as well. I am so grateful that I was able to come to Liberia and know that what I learned at GPFA and from Madam Gbowee will stay with me forever.”
