Thanks

Thanks for visiting the blog. I should arrive in Sierra Leone by 9pm on Friday evening and will provide an update to the blog then. On Saturday the 27th of May I will be opening the new Hope Prep School which has been built with funds raised by Merchant Taylors' Primary School - Stanfield. It promises to be a great day (especially if the rain holds as the Rainy Season has just begun.)

Thanks
Mr Power

I'm off to open the new school at Hope at 10am and then visiting the Mercy Orphanage. At 7.30 it was 30 degrees and very humid! (No Likey) The view of the sunrise from my room made up for the journey!  The Internet connection is awful so I may only be able to update now and then. I can't upload photos from my phone at the moment either as it keeps timing out after 10 mins which is frustrating. Mr Power

Throughout the many long speeches I heard 'Merchant Taylors' Girls' School' and 'Stanfield' mentioned about 100 times. Following this I went to visit some elderly people and their families who had suffered strokes and had difficulty with movement. I collapsible walking sticks with me (£7 in Argos) and you would not believe the relief that the people received. Early in the morning (8am) I met Anita Koroma from Girl Child Sierra Leone and gave her a donation from my form (8W) along with other items to support the poor and vulnerable girls she works with. Finally, I visited Mercy Orphanage in Fullah Town. I first met these kids in 2014 and It was a lovely to see them all again. I gave them a donation from MTGS, underwear and socks and we bought boxes of sweets and biscuits in Freetow...
