Six contestants emerge from talent hunt semi-finals
Liberia is gearing up for the grand finale of its unique and very popular talent show known as A Star is Born. Six contests have emerged from the semi-finals of 28 November and will now compete for first prize of $3,500 and a recording deal on December 1 at the nation’s grand old Centennial Pavilion.
The finalists are Raquel Hage, Wilma Mensah, Margaret Cephas, Maima Myers, Allan Jallah and Gus George.
Four out of ten children in Liberia are stunted, depriving them of the possibility of reaching their full cognitive development and potential, and thus, leading to irreversible intellectual damage. UNICEF works closely with the government to reduce the high level of chronic malnutrition through strengthening health systems, creating awareness on nutrition, and mobilizing community groups to educate, counsel and inform mothers and caregivers on optimal infant and child feeding practices.
