COME, I’LL SHOW YOU

HOW COAL HELPS IN THE PANDEMIC

Everything Korpo L. Jarmina had, she invested in her business – in the inn and in her shop. And it paid off, because business was really good – at least until Corona came along. But the resolute Liberian does not want to be put off by this and decides to get into the coal business. Soon, however, she has to realise how hard it is to fetch the wood from the forest day after day, burn it and then sell it on the market. Korpo is aware of the severe economic consequences of the Corona crisis in her country. But she does not want to give up and advises everyone to remain flexible and optimistic.
