Here's your ticket.
and his medical team stood at the center of it all in Liberia.
He's credited with saving lives, potentially even saving a city.
When this little viral strain started making its way towards Liberia, Dr. Jerry Brown knew
death was coming his way, known as Ebola.
As medical director, he turned the chapel at E.L.W.A. Hospital into an Ebola war for
the capital city.
Ebola was winning, but Brown never gave up hope.
Time magazine has named the fighters of the deadly Ebola virus as the 2014 Persons of the
Year.
They put it, they risked and persisted, sacrificed and saved.
The improving Ebola situation in Liberia means one Colorado man is getting the chance to
realize his dream.
He just opened a school in a very rural part of a rural village in Liberia.
In 2015, Dr. Brown heard about a fellow countryman building schools for the poorest children
in Liberia.
Working long hours in the United States for his dream, Ebenezer Norman devoted himself
to making a difference through education.
I figure that if I'm going to make a difference in this war, then I should impact the dying

education and eventually became an American citizen.

And it all starts, he says, with this new school he just opened in a rural Liberian village.
It's called a New Dimension of Hope.
It's not just getting the attention of students in need, but a Nobel Peace Prize winner as

Hi, my name is Lema Bolia, I support normal and ending hope and I'm happy to be a part
of their team, providing education for young Liberian children.
The completion of Norman's first school was celebrated throughout Liberia and brought
joy to all.
But then, one morning, a land dispute erupted over the school's location.
The school and surrounding village were destroyed.
Norman was heartbroken, but luckily a few did not give up hope.
More than 450 years before the birth of Christ, Confucius said, What I hear, I forget.
What I see, I remember.
What I do, I understand.
Let's do it together.
Now we've heard what we need to do, and we've seen what we need to do.
Now it's time for us to do it, and together we can do it.
