A man reads a warning on the door of a vehicle regarding the deadly Ebola virus in Monrovia, Liberia, Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2014.

The Ebola outbreak has affected the African countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria. Death tolls continue to climb each day.

As of Friday, there were almost 400 confirmed cases in Liberia, but adding in probable and suspected cases of Ebola took the total to over 1,600.

Joe Moyer is a resident of Putney. His career has combined commercial construction and international development and that is why he has been working in Liberia for the past for years, where he is the Infrastructure Project Manager for a project called Rebuilding Basic Health Services.

Vermont Edition spoke with Joe Moyer about his work in Liberia.
