Return to Liberia for 23 FOL travelers
The Liberia Group gets ready to depart

The 23 people traveling together on May 4 from New York’s JFK Airport are a mixed sample of the people who make up FOL: 13 are former Peace Corps volunteers, 7 people who worked or grew up on the Firestone Plantation, two former missionaries and one spouse who hasn’t been to Liberia before.
