Happy New Month! This image is June in our 2021 calendar. During our time in Freetown, we visited family, spent time with our sister Hawa, sister Ejatu & her mom, Neneh Seray. We ate delicious food, went to the markets to explore, haggled for fabric (locally known as lapas) and experienced the hustle and bustle of the busy capital city. We traveled inland to Kabala for two smaller road trips. We really enjoyed our time in Sierra Leone and after the busy work schedule, we spent some time relaxing at the beach.

St. John's Maroon Church is a Methodist church located in Maroon Town , it is one of the oldest churches in Freetown. The Jamaican Maroons were men, women and children, originating from the Gold Coast in Africa, who had surrendered at the end of the Second Maroon War in Jamaica . . They had been deported to Nova Scotia by the colonial authorities in 1796. They settled down in an area that became known as Maroon Town. The Maroons gradually gave up their African beliefs and converted to Christianity. . In 1820, they received a grant of land between Percival and Liverpool Street in Maroon Town. Uncomfortable worshiping in Nova Scotian chapels, a group led by Charles Shaw Harding built St. John's Maroon Church in 1822. It is a small white building surrounded by a low white wall.

This image is July in our 2021 calendar. As a kid, one of Fazineh’s favorite activities was climbing a mango tree and spending the afternoon up there eating as many mangos as possible. Fazineh was born in Kabala, the town where our first project with ILF will be located. We personally know how important the water well and medical clinic will be at the community centre. Typhoid, malaria, as well as many other preventable diseases are common in Sierra Leone. The medical system is private, people get the quality of treatment they can afford. Making health care easily accessible within the community is one of our priorities.

Happy New Month! This image is December in our 2021 calendar: Sierra Leone has gorgeous white sand beaches lining the coast. We visited River No 2 Beach, south of the capital city of Freetown, where Fazineh and Aïssatou took the local boat taxi at the location where the river flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Tourism and small businesses are run by the local community. We purchased many hand-made items including backpacks, purses, clothing, and jewelry.

Happy New Month! This image is November in our 2021 calendar: Sweet, sweet Cassava Leaf oh! Some people argue that Cassava Leaf is the signature dish of Sierra Leone. Super tasty, super delicious and nutritious, every region has their own version of the traditional recipe, which is a staple meal across Sierra Leone. Arinyamin ~ come leh we eat. (Let’s eat! In Fula & Krio) We visited our niece and nephew Mamusu & Saidu, at their school Ahmadiyya Secondary in Kabala. Then we went home for dinner. Cassava Leaf time is the best time!

Happy New Month! This image is September in our 2021 calendar. Our daughter, Aïssatou, at Neneh’s house in Kabala. Neneh means Mom in Fula. Fazineh’s mom, Neneh Fatmata, and her elder sister Big Neneh Aminata, live at the house with 5 kids and a daughter-in-law. We were so happy to spend time in Kabala with family, learning and reconnecting. While we were there, we had delicious food delivered to us from good neighbors who even gifted us two chickens. Among some of the schools and facilities we visited was The Kabala School for the Blind where Fazineh's aunt works. This organization is doing great work for their students, and we look forward to collaborating with them in the future.

Happy New Month! This image is August in our 2021 calendar. During our trip, we gained many good connections and experiences. We visited work sites to learn as much as possible. We gathered info, double checked on prices of materials and labour, and met with builders and suppliers. It was great to re-confirm our building designs and plans for the centre and to see, in person for ourselves, that we are on the right track and that the community is excited to be involved in all aspects of creating and running the centre.
