Medical School tuition-1st Anesth MD in Liberia

This is a video made by Jeremiah. He explains a little about why he decided to go to medical school. You can see the challenges he faces every day such as getting on the public bus to school. He thanks all of his many donors who have supported his education over the last few years. We are nearing completion. We will soon send a payment for the final year of school.

"Teach the teachers" is the most sustainable method of helping low and middle-income countries to improve health care. After he graduates, Jeremiah will return home to Bong County Liberia to provide anesthesia and teach others.
