We will like to first of all extend our thanks and appreiations to those who sacrificed to be able to have participated in the all Liberians network meeting in Trondheim Feb. 27-28, 2015. What you did was done for all Liberians living in Norway and for your country Liberia.

Those who attended the all Liberian network meeting in Trondheim were representatives from Liberians organizations as follow: LICIN organization in Oslo, ULAN, ALIN organization in Trondheim, The United Sisters Association, LAH organization in Bergen, LINFA organization in Kongsberg, ULINFOB organization in Bærum and the Chairman for the All Liberians Ad-hoc committee. There were also representatives from the Municipality of Kristiansund, Municipality of  Stensialyouth representatives from the Municipality of Bærum.

The total amount of participants at this meeting were about 35 persons. Many people did not come because of their work schedules and other private issues.

After all the group discussions, the paticipnts gave a mandate to the leadership group which comprised of all the leaders of all the Liberian organizatins in Norway, to come up with a solution to how all liberians can build a network system where all Liberians can start to work in unity in Norway.

The leaders promised to work with the different recommendations made by the participants during the group discusions, especially the leadership group recommendations, inorder to find the way forward to unity amongst Liberians. The leaders promised to host the first meeting in March 2015, and will give a report on the out come of the meeting to the women organization.

Many of the participants already started suggesting celebration of Liberian independence day ( July 26th) as a good start to create unity amongst Liberians in Norway, but it's up to the leaders to decide the way forward.

LIWONPAD was responsible for lodging and feeding for the paticipants during the network meeting in Trondheim Feb. 27-28, 2015..

​Ebola spreads rapidly like wild fire, therfore to prevent people infecting families and friends, it is very important to follow the below instructions:

When ever you travel to Guine, Sierra Leone or Liberia, upon returning to Norway you should observe your self for feverheadachediarrhea or body pain within the first 21 days. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should immediately call 113 and wait for them to meet you at your home. NB: Do not go to the clinic or hospital by yourself! wait until the ambulance come and get you.

Do not be afraid to contact 113 because the Norwegian government has a very well equiped facility for isolation of Ebola patients. The health personals will give you all the neccessary help you may need.

SOME OF THE HINGS AMONG OTHERS YOU MAY HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH, WHILE IN EBOLA AFFECTED REGIONS
- Do not get checked or treated at any of the Ebola centers or hospitals that are caring for Ebola patients
- Avoid sexual activities with people in the Ebola affected regions
- Practice good hand hygiene
