Curran is also giving back to the Liberian community and hopes to continue giving support to the educational and social institutions, while also promoting goodwill and building a positive relationship with the Liberian people and government.
Curran’s experiences in life have paved the way for him to become the man that he is today. He still lives his life through the lessons he learned from his family. His on the field intensity and drive to help others is a testament to that. He currently spends much of his time with his daughter, Eleana, giving her the same love he received as a child. Rennie Curran truly is “The Liberian Dream”.
