Local Heroes: Joseph Deranamie (Mission to Liberia)

As a continuation of the series entitled "Local Heroes", today we learn about Joseph Deranamie of Mission to Liberia, an organization that provides shoes, clothing, books and medical supplies for war-torn Liberia.

On March 24, 2011, the American Red Cross of Central and Western Massachusetts recognized a number of people in the community as "local heroes".  The list included:

• Dr. Michael Hirsh and Dr. Mariann Manno of UMASS Memorial Medical Center Injury Prevention Office.
• Worcester Firefighters Local 1009 Ramp Gang.
• Brenda Jenkins
• Joseph Deranamie
• The Belmont Street Baptist Church Haiti Team

Here's a short video that was put together by the American Red Cross of Central and Western Massachusetts, and filmed by Ryan Hughes.
