MONROVIA, Liberia, 10 December 2009 – "Everywhere you go in Liberia, you will see motorbikes,” says Josephine Zogbaye, 18. “Many people don’t have access to cars, so anytime I’m going somewhere, I take a motorbike to avoid long distance walks so I won’t be late.” As useful as motorbikes are in Liberia, however, there are downsides.
“Motorcyclists in Liberia don’t drive with care,” Josephine says. “If you’re not careful, they will damage your life.”
Monrovia radio workshop
In August, Josephine was one of the participants in a week-long radio production workshop for seven young people from Liberia. UNICEF Radio, UNICEF's ‘Back on Track’ programme on Education in Emergencies and Post-Crisis Transition, the UNICEF Liberia programme and Talking Drum Studios conducted the workshop with three boys and four girls chosen from around the country.
