There are other projects that would be done by the African Partnership Station. The Clay-ashland clinic would be done in the early part of June while the Monrovia Demonstration School is expected to be renovated in mid June.
The African Partnership Station provides unique venue for synergy between multi national, multi agency and non-governmental organizations from Africa, U.S., and Europe.
