Africas First Real Life Superhero Saves Kids in Liberia

Over the last three months a real life superhero has been roaming Monrovia and the surrounding area. This masked hero calls himself Lion Heart. Lion Heart has been proving he has the heart of a lion by what he has done.

Lion Heart has been going to people and teaching them things that can save as well as improve their lives. Lion Heart has even been able to save children while he was teaching people. Many people he has taught had people dying from dehydration caused by diarrhea and all they needed was to mix an exact mixture of 1 liter of clean water, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 8 tablespoons of sugar. Once they were given this mixture in the proper amount they were able to be saved from a symptom that would have killed them as it does to millions of people every year. All they needed was information.

Lion Heart has been teaching other things as well that will help save lives. He has taught people simple things like boiling water they get from the stream, and not to cooking inside the house with no ventilation which are some of the top causes of death in the world even higher then cancer or AIDS. He has also taught people to not eat after those in the family that are sick but to give them separate cups and utensils.

Besides teaching them about hygiene he teaches them other important things as well. He teaches them things that can help improve their economic state. One example is teaching villagers how to make their own high grade fertilizer using their own urine by mixing it with 5 to 10 times the amount of water to urine. This greatly improves yields and gives them more to eat or sale.

He has also been warning people about the slave trade and the tricks that the slavers use to get people into slavery. He also hears stories from those that learned to late such as Mr. Kahn Jackson of Monrovia who lost a daughter to a human trafficker that was working with a NGO. Hearing the stories lets him know the many ways human traffickers operate so he can warn people of the tricks they use.

Lion Heart has been learning about the problems as he helps people and then does what he can to find the solutions and be more helpful. When he teaches people he asks that they teach others what they learn. Mr. Tarnue Bobo of Mindina village assured him that he would tell the entire village of Mindina. There are even a few people that have asked Lion Heart to teach them what he knows so they can teach people too.

Lion Heart has visited many people and many others have taught what he taught them. Perhaps the things he teaches can be taught in other countries as well.
