There is absolutely enormous, deep wisdom to learn, observe, drink in. I appreciate what you are saying, though I fear some of the deep traditions have been so disrupted and even lost for the present generations with the chaos of the last 20 years. The Community Summit was a way to bring many diverse people together who do not have a chance to engage in conversation with other outside of that setting — unfortunately there is not a way for the flow to flow... Over half the population now lives in Monrovia and many have not experienced the richness of village life including the Palava Hut. The youth do not trust or especially respect the elders or chiefs. Women have many concerns. So it is a society in rough transition... <br><div>
