Lofa County, Liberia — a sanctuary

On the rare chance that anyone is passing through Voinjama in northern Liberia, I cannot recommend highly enough the Lofa Lodge, Bar & Restaurant, run by the charming and attentive Scham, who will order in peppered chicken, serve chilled Star beer with Bob Dylan in the background, and attach a small torch to his head to shed light on a chess game and advise on moves.  Given where he is, where Africa is crumpled, ruthless and unsure of how to react to its own failures, Scham does a fantastic job in providing power, water, sancuary and a sense of tranquility.
