There Is No Easy Fix Or Youth

I Don't Face Any Particular Problems As A Woman President Because I Have Been A Professional For A Long Time. I Keep Telling People: I Am A Technocrat Who Happens To Be A Woman.

One Has To Look At My Life Story To See What I've Done. I've Paid A Heavy Price That Many People Don't Realize.

The People Of Liberia Know What It Means To Be Deprived Of Clean Water. But We Also Know What It Means To See Our Children Begin To Smile Again, With A Restoration Of Hope And Faith In The Future.

We Are Here Because We Share A Fundamental Belief: That Poverty, Illiteracy, Disease And Inequality Do Not Belong In The Twenty-first Century. We Share A Common Purpose: To Eradicate These Ills For The Benefit Of All. And We Share A Common Tool To Achieve This: The Millennium Development Goals.

In Liberia, The Big Challenge That Remains For Us Is Job Creation. We Want Young People To Work Or Go To School. That Is Our Main Preoccupation Right Now.
