FREETOWN, Sierra Leone, 8 September 2009 – Three children, all seemingly under 10 years of age, are camped around Freetown’s Cotton Tree – a historic site for offering prayers for peace and prosperity – begging for handouts. They do not go to school.
My dear friend Mahawa is from Sierra Leone. We have talked many times about conditions in her home country and I would like to travel there one day, to teach those children less fortunate than our own.
