HOT NEWS!
We Got It!
We received our certificate from Sierra Leone's government, showing that we are
registered as an International Non-Governmental Organization (INGO)! With this
recognition, we are able to function fully as a non-profit, with all the benefits and
responsibilities of that status.
Our Executive Assistant for Sierra Leone, Jitta Rogers, did her job beautifully and
managed our application as it wound through the process. Thank you, Jitta!
And We're Off!
We are getting ready for our next teaching trip to Kailahun District in Salone (short
for Sierra Leone). We'll teach a refresher course in Pellie, and the full course to a new
group of learners in an area north of Pellie. These new villages will be in two different
Chiefdoms in the Kailahun District, which represents some exciting growth.
The government is anxious for us to broaden our offerings to include community
classes for women on nutrition, breastfeeding, family planning, and sexually-
transmitted diseases. So we're preparing to teach classes on this topic in both
locations.
We'll be there from the end of July to the beginning of September, spending 4 week
teaching and a week before and after for planning and resting.
Volunteers!
We have some wonderful new volunteers working with us. Lisa is a Labor and
Delivery Nurse who is finishing her Master's in Public Health very soon. Sandra is a
Certified Professional Midwife who is finishing nursing school this year. Robin has a
degree in International Development and is applying to midwifery school. Welcome!
