Rebekah Schulz, a.k.a. “Miss RB”, is a former two-year Liberian
Peace Corps Volunteer who has extended her stay in Liberia and is now an USAID
employee teaching at Cuttington University’s College of Agriculture. She is
going to continue with her fourth year in Liberia with USAID. She epitomizes
the ideals of Peace Corps. Today is the celebration of her 30th and her” Liberian son’s” 23rd birthday. Dr. Nick’s is her chosen venue.
Miss RB “adopts” talented Liberians who come from impoverished backgrounds. She mentors them, pays for their college tuitions, and has gotten full scholarships for two of her “sons” to universities in Costa Rica and now two to Arizona State University. This is a remarkable achievement.
Most students see her as a mild-mannered teacher who now is teaching five different subjects, but seems to always be available to work with any student who seeks her assistance.
Today is a time to discard “mild-mannered” and a time for others to show their appreciation. Her 30th is truly a time to celebrate.
