Harry Fumba Moniba Foundation Established
Philadelphia, 03/12/09 - A foundation honoring the late Dr. Harry Fumba Moniba, former Vice President of Liberia, has been established by the Moniba Family. The formal launching of "The Dr. Harry Fumba Moniba Foundation" is scheduled for Monday, March 16, according to his widow, Mrs. Minita Kollie Moniba.Dr. Moniba died in a two-car accident on November 24, 2004 in Michigan while preparing to launch his campaign for the Liberian presidency in the 2005 election Ellen Sirleaf "won."
Mrs. Moniba told the Sloh Information Service today that although her late husband may not have driven his putting “Liberia First” campaign to completion, "he had a clear vision and tirelessly articulated it." She said Dr. Moniba "wanted to provide a leadership that is selfless, inclusive, and exemplary," adding, "He cared about Liberia and had a passion for putting national interest above his own."
She recalled that her father was "unwavering in his commitment to peace and respect for rule of law – a commitment which his few critics took for weakness, although many of his supporters and admirers see his non-violent stance as strength."
She said the Moniba Family and true friends believe that his dedication to a peaceful change was a major stabilizing factor in the successful creation of the multi-party system which today forms the basis for violence-free competitive elections even in post-war Liberia.
"In his home going, he did not only leave behind a lasting memory of a loving husband, father, grandfather, and brother, he also left a legacy of national leadership with honesty and integrity which is to be admired and emulated. Part of his ever lasting legacy will be the shining example he set for his fellow citizens in that hard work, dedication and love for a country will drive a man to do great things, and, thus, a nation to do great things," she noted.
Mrs. Moniba demonstrated unwavering gratitude to friends of the Moniba family by saying, "I want to sincerely thank all those who have continued to identify with us during and after our period of bereavement. Your overwhelming outpouring of concerns and affections continues to remind us of the positive impact that Dr. Moniba made in the lives of those around him as well as in national and foreign affairs."
She concluded, "I want to ask that you join us in keeping Dr. Moniba's leadership vision alive in the years ahead by working to make our great country of Liberia a place where democracy, freedom of speech, and the liberty of its citizens exist for the greater good of all Liberians."
