March 2021 UPDATE 1

In addition to all the hard work by both staff and students in preparation for the end of term tests, much has been going on to promote the health and well-being of students and staff. Our Country Director, Moses Conteh, has had his regular meeting with the Health Centre Officer, Mr Yamba, discussing future support and the fees payable for services last year.

The girls are so pleased with their new toilet facilities that under the direction of Mrs Mariama Sillah they have been very busy cleaning and putting final touches before the official opening.

Meanwhile, as the first library shelves have been filled with books and other resources, Project Manager, Ishmael Bockerie, and his supporter, Lansana Rogers, have been busy buying the materials and constructing the second set of shelves. We look forward to these being filled with resources to help both our students and staff but also members of the local community.

Mind the gap.

As always all of these activities are only possible through your generous support and the hard work of our staff in Sierra Leone. This spotlight on student and staff well-being illustrates trustees’ priorities of removing barriers to the education of these poor and vulnerable students, so that they will thrive and contribute to a better future for their community, Sierra Leone and Africa.
