Time Magazine has named it’s most influential persons of 2014…and it is the health workers fighting on the front lines in West Africa  countries: Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, against the deadly Ebola virus.



The cover will feature five different healthcare workers who have worked to combat the disease: Dr. Kent Brantly, nurse aide Salome Karwah, Doctors Without Borders volunteer Ella Watson-Stryker, ambulance team supervisor Foday Galla and Dr. Jerry Brown.

Ken Brantly contracted the disease in Liberia, was flown to the United States for treatment, he survived and went back to Liberia to continue fighting the disease.
Time has said West African healthcare workers and organizations like Doctors Without Borders and Samaritan’s Purse have “risked and persisted, sacrificed and saved.”

So far the Ebola outbreak has killed more than 7,000 people since it began earlier this year. Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea are the hardest hit.

The BEST choice. People DID NOT have to leave the luxury of their own homelands and travel to deprived aress of Africa - but they CHOSE to. That is human sacrifice.
