Canadian Oil Company Announces Humanitarian Aid Goals for Liberia,
West Africa VANCOUVER, June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The people
in Liberia, West Africa, will soon benefit from a Canadian oil
company's humanitarian program that will focus on providing medical
assistance to that part of the African continent. Gold Star
Humanitarian Society (GSHS), a West African aid group organized
within Gold Star Resources Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: GXXFF; TSX-V;
GXX; http://www.goldstarresources.com/), today formally announced
its medical assistance goals in Liberia in 2009 and 2010. These
medical aid goals include the following: -- Provide generators to
medical clinics along with fuel vouchers; -- Provide medical
prescription medicines such as anti-malaria and typhoid; -- Provide
suitable medical instruments and supplies; -- Sponsor medical
training of mid-wives and nurses; -- Repair and/or build new
medical clinics; -- Build community latrines; -- Sponsor student
health worker scholarships. According to Patrick Morris, Chairman
and CEO of both Gold Star Humanitarian Society and Gold Star
Resources Corp., "The time is long overdue for oil and gas
companies, large and small, to look beyond just the resource wealth
in West Africa. Companies must also help the local people and
provide West African communities with medical programs and
activities that can help them. The people of Liberia are especially
in need of medical aid. Our own humanitarian effort seeks to
contribute to a better way of life for Liberians. In the months to
come, we will seek to expand our assistance to include medical,
educational, and nutritional necessities in Liberia." DATASOURCE:
