completed for the students - a wonderful
change from three years ago where children
were sharing filthy mattresses with no mosquito nets.
In addition to working in Kabala this summer,
we traveled to all of the schools meeting with
administrators, teachers, and students at each
one. Our informal assessment of the services
in the country is being compiled and distributed to Sierra Leone's various commissioners
and services providers who assist in planning
and funding for needs of the blind in Sierra
Leone. We are hoping that this input will help
build interest and concern for several very desperate schools that exist in remote ar- eas of
the country.
We're always so enriched by the enthusiasm of
the blind children of Sierra Leone and the hope
they say we've brought them with each visit to
Kabala. Their love has enriched our lives; we
are forever changed.
