Not only is another world possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.

Pictures maybe?

Formatting this is impossible here- but here are some pictures- hope you enjoy! The sunset picture is from the hostel- you can see the sunset over the ocean every night- very beautiful. The others were all just taken around Freetown. I really liked the graffiti because I literally haven't gone a day here without hearing the song "Love is Wicked."

A Little Background

This blog is centered around my experiences as a global justice volunteer in Sierra Leone during the summer of 2008. For two months I worked with Society for Women and Aids Africa Sierra Leone Chapter (SWAASL) and City of Rest (a drug rehabilitation and mental health facility) in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

Thank You

I want to extend a sincere thank you to everybody who has supported me on this journey. I can't tell you how blessed I feel to have so much support.
And a special thanks to...
The members of Discovery UMC
The Chaska Herald, especially Mollee Francisco
Missio Dei
Youth Enrichment League
Lake Minnetonka Orthodontics
And all of the individuals who supported me financially, through prayers, and with their stories

Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone, which lies on the West coast of Africa, is ranked lowest on the Human Development Index (177/177 countries) and seventh lowest on the Human Poverty Index. The country suffers from a 1.5% HIV/AIDS prevalence rate, as well as tremendous inequality in income distribution with 70.2% of the population below $2 per day.
