The Ebola virus has ravaged West Africa, and it's keeping a man from Liberia from flying home. Samuel Manyongar has been in the U.S. since July, sharing his experience from his home country with students. It’s something he’s been doing since 2006, and now his message is even more powerful.Video: Liberian speaker spreads message of awareness in Omaha"I try to bring awareness to the students and to different groups I speak to,” said Manyongar.Manyongar was born in Sierra Leone. He’s a citizen of Liberia and has a message for students at Alfonza Davis Middle School, in Omaha."This country is so blessed and they are so fortunate, but other countries around the world -- they don't enjoy what a student enjoys,” said Manyongar.Manyongar has gone through two civil wars; one in Sierra Leone and one in Liberia. And now Ebola is threatening his home country."In Sierra Leone, it has killed so many people and they're still trying to put it under control, but it's still continuing to infect many people,” said Manyongar.Manyongar said the same is true in Liberia. The government has issued a curfew because of the virus."So people go to work by 8 a.m. and leave by 1 p.m. and all schools are closed in both countries,” said Manyongar.Manyongar said people are not allowed to get together for special events, only for worship, which is a stark contrast to what he sees in America."While in the states you see the children going to school and people living well, and then you think about your country, it’s so painful,” said Manyongar.And Manyongar wants to go back home to see his family, but he must wait. He flew in on Air France in July, but since then, the airline suspended flights to Sierra Leone, forcing him to wait until flights are resumed. While he waits, he is giving more reminders to Americans."Let the student respect and honor their teachers, and the American people to appreciate the type of society you have. You are so blessed, and many people around the world wish that they were in your position,” said Manyongar.
