Rebuilders International - REBI

Rebuilders International is committed to restoring minds, mending hearts, and touching lives by bridging the gap between Students, Parents, Teachers and Communities, so as to make the society whole again. After years of Civil conflict, REBI, through the medium of the Respect for Diversity and Civic Responsibility Seminar, seeks to encourage the youth to appreciate our unique differences as members of society. We educate them about their duties and rights as citizens and expectations as future leaders of Liberia. The students have an opportunity to share their views, opinions, and questions with facilitators. It's always a joy sharing this learning experience with them while we work to build a better Liberia.

REBI is proud to have organized the second edition of Respect for Diversity and Civic Responsibility Seminar for schools in the Old Road Community. The schools present were Mason Centre High School, Monrovia Open Bible Standard School, Ford-Madden Christian Academy, A. T. Warner High School, and A. M. Fofana Islamic and English School. We give special thanks to the Proprietors of Ford-Madden Christian Academy for hosting us.

Do you agree that our education system is a mess?
Is it because our president said so? If not, what's your saying on this?

“The Anatomy of Conflict:

If there is no communication then there is no respect. If there is no respect then there is no caring. If there is no caring then there is no understanding. If there is no understanding then there is no compassion. If there is no compassion then there is no empathy. If there is no empathy then there is no forgiveness. If there is no forgiveness then there is no kindness. If there is no kindness then there is no honesty. If there is no honesty then there is no love. If there is no love then God doesn't reside there. If God doesn't reside there then there is no peace. If there is no peace then there is no happiness. If there is no happiness ----then there IS CONFLICT BECAUSE THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION!”
― Shannon L. Alder

An Awareness Campaign of Stigmatization against Ebola victims, survivors and their relatives was held at St. Clements University Auditorium on January 26, 2015. At the end, invitees were encouraged to go out and spread the "Say No to Stigmatization" campaign.

Quote of the Day:

― Asa Don Brown

The school outreach program was extended to the St. Mark A. M. E. High School, Airfield Sinkor, on June 25, 2015 with a discussion on 'Self-awareness'.

Quote of the Day:
“If you have a dream, don’t just sit there. Gather courage to believe that you can succeed and leave no stone unturned to make it a reality.”
