Giving a background to the donation, Christopher Wallace-Johnson said that it was his uncle Theodore Nicol who lives in Germany that facilitated the donation.  He revealed that in July last year, when Theodore visited Sierra Leone, he saw the challenges facing the children and as a social worker working with children in Germany the concerns and interest of these children became paramount to him as part of the problems facing this part of the world.

Key points:

Sierra Leone is one country in the world which is yet to have a Country Water Partnership (CWP) which aims to contribute to the improvement of Water Resources Management (WRM) in the country.
Speaking in a conference past December, Dr. Bashiru M. Koroma, disclosed that WRM seeks to support pro-poor, marginalized rural communities to improve on the access to water resources management, water supply and sanitation, through low-cost, affordable, bottom-up and sustainable approaches.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A few years after leaving Franklin and Marshall College's leafy campus in Lancaster, alumna Kristen Stephen and Morgan Marks reconnected last month at an apartment on a gritty North Philadelphia street.

Inside, a 25-year-old woman from Sierra Leone rocked her new baby and mixed warm tea with cocoa for her 3-year-old as the college friends recalled the life-changing day in 2007 they had met the woman at the York County Prison.

"I was scared out of my mind walking into that prison. And she's in there with women who have actually committed crimes," Marks said. "She was just turning 20, younger than us. ... I couldn't imagine myself reversing roles."

The woman was seeking asylum. Marks, 25, and Stephen, 26, were assigned to help her case as part of a unique seminar at F&M called Human Rights/Human Wrongs.

One of Sierra Leone’s most dynamic entrepreneurs, Anthony Navo,  has been elected as Chairman of  (AWOL) All Works of Life, a major non-profit and non-political charitable organisation that is already impacting lives in the West African State.

Anthony Navo who is currently the Director of Communications at African Minerals, is an outstanding Sierra Leonean whose contribution to the social and economic life of his country has always been remarkable.

While some of us are starting the new year filled with good intentions – like eating less sweets and hitting the gym more often – a Tinton Falls couple will kick off 2012 with a medical mission to Sierra Leone to provide health care to women in a country that has five ob-gyns to serve its 5.5 million people.
