Maro and simon's journey in sierra leone. Thursday, August 17, 2006. Well, we're finally here! It was like a sprawling chapel, its colourful icons - the fishermen, the prostitutes, the orphans, came in and out of the light almost like a never-ending dream. On Tuesday, Alice, VSO's programme for HIV/governance picked us up with Lynda, the receptionist. We were introduced to staff, given our first month's money, and talked through the programme and health and safety issues. For now, all our love,. And othe...

Sierra Leone: September 2006
http://generocitysierra.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
News, opportunity and politics from the ground. Tuesday, September 19, 2006. Really quite tired today. I’m working pretty flat out; added to which, my office moved last week and is now 2 hours away (1 and a half in good traffic; rare). So the days are long, though it’s likely I’ll work away from the office once or twice a week. But what’s Britain’s role in all this? The UK’s Department for International Development supposedly has huge influence over how this ex-colony is run far more than the UN. But...

Maro and simon's journey in sierra leone. Saturday, May 13, 2006. M&S self-reflection (1) Are we ready? Yesterday, Maro phoned the VSO. Office and was told they were now sure that they knew what we’d be doing, and where. They can’t let on until it’s one hundred percent certain. But somewhere out there, after months of assessments, interviews and meetings, the die seems cast. So this is the quiet before the storm, the moment before creation. Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Malawi? Radiance, fertility, justice. The u...

News, opportunity and politics from the ground. Tuesday, March 06, 2007. A different story: life and death in Sierra Leone. In January I went to the funeral of the father of my close friend and colleague Flora. The next day I wrote a piece that was swallowed up by one of Freetown’s frequent power cuts. So I am sitting down again now to try and pull together some of the thoughts I had then. Posted by generocity at 4:58 PM. Back to the homepage. Reflecting our own experience.
