He's trying, but that sure looks like a trash bag he's using to protect his head. I suspect he knows his life is in danger from this work but is doing it because Monrovia needs the job done.

Sad but it’s not the USA’s fault they live in those conditions. I know the liberals like to believe everything is our fault but this isn’t.
Unfortunately, our poverty rate has been increasing under the obama regime.
With all their budget, has the UN ever installed a single bathroom there?
A friend was supposed to go over there last summer with a church group to build toilets. He backed out at the last minute. How long have missionaries and the Peace Corps been teaching them to dig wells or plant a bean seed and they’re still clueless? Really, how hard is it to grasp the very basics?
They can’t be bothered to show a little pride by cleaning up around their hovels. Fine, they can’t afford to paint their homes but they could at least slap on some homemade whitewash which, hellllooooo, has antibacterial properties.

Cia invented this to do away with the negro.
Crack and AjIDs weren’t working fast enough.
From the top comment after the Vice story:
“The number one most widely read story in the Liberian Newspaper this week is one about how ebola was patented in America and is being spread on purpose.”
Maybe we can get volume discounts for shipping here, express air freight.
Monrovia Liberia, from the Vice News photo essay at the link.
You can make a better case that Liberia is America's fault than you can for any other country in Africa. Liberia was established by American nonprofits as a way of "resettling" freed slaves. It became an effective colony of the United States.
At least 6000 years on this planet and this is their society? They have not built a building since colonialism and they only wear western aid clothes.
Any idea what they mean by #4 “Thou shalt not put mat down for dead people” and what they mean by #6 “allow anybody even family friend to spend time”? Anyone?
I always thought the big problem with getting aid to Africans was getting around all the corrupt dictators, governments and wars.
Is that just another liberal fairy tale too?
#4 Don’t handle or place Ebola corpse for burial (prayer mat)
#6 Don’t let anyone in the hut even family friend
You know an awful lot of folks really do believe this crap.
I just don’t think our cia is that smart.
I am guessing that the mat is bedding, and that is an expression for putting dead people on bedding. Spend time probably means socializing, having folks over.
It is beyond the pale grown adults need to be told this. Take Ebola out of the equation and it’s still basic common sense rules to live by.
And what's to stop the descendants of freed slaves who are protesting in Ferguson against the right to be governed from doing something useful like organizing and going to Liberia to provide their brothers and sisters with help in battling disease?
The message I'm getting, that I'm probably not allowed to say in this PC world, is that the vast majority of Africans can't self-govern. And they should stay where they are until they figure it out.
