Odecious
Odecious is one of our Liberian drivers. He is a great guy and always full of humour and laughter. He works as many hours as possible to earn money to feed his extended family and to save up to buy a new engine for his taxi, which will become his only source of income once the ship leaves Liberia in December. Last Saturday his mobile phone fell out of his pocket and smashed. It will cost him two weeks wages to replace it, and a days wages just to buy a scratch-card for the new one. So sad. Olly

Yes it is sad, we were with him...he drove the vehicle Stephanie and I were in...some of us (in our vehicle) gave him money towards his new phone after getting back to the ship.
How much more does he need? I would be willing to cover some of the difference of what is left.
And also encourage any of the others that were with us Saturday to chip in a few dollars if they haven't already.
