Monrovia

In this photo taken Sunday Sept. 28, 2014, Promise, 16, Emmanuel Junior, 11, and Benson, 15, Cooper sit at their St. Paul Bridge home in Monrovia, Liberia. The Cooper children are now orphans, having lost their mother, Princess, in July, and their father Emmanuel in August to Ebola. Their 5-month-old baby brother, Success, also succumbed to the virus in August. Ruth, their 13-year-old sister is being hospitalized with Ebola. Liberia's current crisis involving street children is partly due to the ravaging effects that Ebola had on the country nearly a decade ago. Photo credit: Jerome Delay, the Associated Press.
