Our Staff:

Executive Assistant:  Jitta Rogers is a trilingual Sierra Leoneon (English, Krio, and
Mende), who is our interpreter, advisor, and on-site coordinator for our activities in
Sierra Leone.

Foreign Project Supervisor:  Sulaiman Koroma, also a trilingual Sierra Leoneon, is
the Dispenser at the clinic in Pellie.  His main work is as the liaison with the Ministry of
Health and other officials.
Our Volunteers:

Donation gatherers and packagers:  Tell your friends, schools, churches, and co-
workers about the needs of the women we serve.  Gather and send their gifts.  

Fund raisers:  Host screenings, showers, or info sessions to benefit our projects.

Researchers:  What is the current evidence for various aspects of maternity care?  
And what was that company that donates gloves to non-profits?  Who else is
working in Sierra Leone?  These are four of the many questions that volunteers
explore.

Grant writers:  Preparing applications for grants requires careful attention to detail
and the ability to tell a compelling story - and it takes time.  We need help!

Editors:  As we write courses, newsletters, presentations, web sites, and other
material, the support of talented and picky editors is invaluable.   

Trainers:  Teach women to be skilled birth attendants and how to work within their  
communities to improve life for their neighbors.

Members of the board:  Help with decision-making, marketing, legal aspects, and
other organizational needs.
