2007 NATIONAL CONVENTION THEME
"Sooh zah gbowihn baah" - Bassa (Charity begins at home)
By Joseph D. Sinyan, President of UNIBOA
Mr. Joseph Sinyan
“Soh zah gbowihn baah” is a Bassa parable which signifies that in order to achieve great things or expand to greater heights. One has to exemplify his talents and potentials from his own home or environment. As a county based organization, we desire to assist in any possible way to the reconstruction of our country as a whole.
The task of nation building is enormous, but with the zeal and determination to participate in the improvement of the quality of life for our people, we need to start from our own home counties. We believe that by contributing to education and in health care personnel training, we can promote the areas in great demand in the developing world – healthcare education. People die daily from curable and or preventable diseases because of the lack of affordable healthcare. It is our hope and desire that this body will see the need to support the Nursing Program as a first step in assisting the government to provide this need.
