President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, on Tuesday October 29, climaxed her
75th birth anniversary with a groundbreaking ceremony for the
construction of the Omega Market, the completion of which will lead to
the relocation of the congested Red Light Market in Paynesville. The
program, organized by the Liberia Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA)
Sorority, was preceded by a fundraiser by the AKA, which has pledged to
participate in constructing the market as a birthday gift to President
Sirleaf.
AKA is an international service organization established by
African-American college-educated women, founded in 1908 on the campus
of Howard University in Washington, D.C., and is the oldest
Greek-lettered organization. Its membership is comprised of
distinguished women who boast excellent academic records, proven
leadership skills, and are involved in the global community through
advocacy and service. The organization has dedicated itself to improving
the quality of life for citizens worldwide and promoting peace.
