Saying Goodbye to Sam

Our Project Coordinator, Sam, left today. He has spent the last several days handing over the mission. The final hand-offs were today. We waited and watched and sadly helped him get into the vehicle to start the long journey home. I have only known him for a short time, but he has been and will continue to be an inspiration. He never let the mission be diluted by the political situation, but was always able to see what was best in the long term. He leaves us to go to his homeland in Liberia. He will have his hands full there, just as he did here. He is a good man, and I will miss his leadership, and his company.
