Some snaps in Sierra Leone

I have about 3,000 photos from Sierra Leone. For now, I'll keep it to two.

Sierra Leonean children have an exceptional knack for making noise. These little guys clapped and sang for at least 30 minutes and then started an impromptu parade. Unfortunately you can't hear them here. I'll see if I can figure out how to post a video we made.

Here I am. Nervously accepting a gift of 2 live chickens from a village chief:

Did I mention how much I love my job?

Glad to see you're adding to the blog again. I read the latest to Gram and she liked them of course. She was concerned that they were being backed up.
Take care!

Love your photos and the work you are doing. I have been raising money for kids in Tanzania following the successful climb of Mount Kilimanjaro with my son. A book is in the works. If you get a chance, check out my blog at:

Wow, Stumbled across your blog, you're awesome! I hope to do something similar one day (hopefully become a General Practitioner and go practice in a country that needs it for free) but as for now I'll have to be content with getting my Associate of Science degree and EMT certification. Wooh, anyway keep up the awesome updates!

Whoa! It's now November and no posts. Bad bloggeuse.

Thanks to all for leaving comments. It's such an encouragement to keep writing.

And, Char Char, those chickens made an excellent lunch.

xo!

I just found your blog and I have to say that,Wow, I´m a bit jealous in you and your amazing job!
It seems so fun and exciting to see the whole world and being able to help other people.
Next time you go to an other country (or if you´re still in sierra leone), plz tell them "greetings from Finland"! :)

Stumbled on your blog but love how you describe your experiences, good way to connect on a personal level with people. Also noticed that it is almost 3 years old, are you still blogging or have you started a family or??
Take care now.
