A home in Salone | Sabi Salone
https://sabisalone.wordpress.com/2012/07/05/a-home-in-salone
Just another WordPress.com site. A home in Salone. I made a home in Freetown, Sierra Leone. We lived among squatters and millionaires. We were neighbors with 17 bedroom mansions, the ruins of unfinished houses, and single-room pan-bodi zinc shacks. I never heard anyone comment on the contrasts, and I learned to act like I took them for granted. Here are some pictures of the home that I will be leaving very soon. This slideshow requires JavaScript. I am leaving my village and going back to my town.

Turning 29 in Freetown | Sabi Salone
https://sabisalone.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/turning-29-in-freetown
Just another WordPress.com site. Turning 29 in Freetown. Bakarr explained, in his matter-of-African-fact way, that illness befell me on my birthday as a reminder of the pain that my mother suffered when giving birth to me, and of the pain that she was feeling now due to my absence. Sometimes African explanations are the best ones. Simple. Meaningful. Because of my illness, the evening of my actual birthday was a quiet, but enjoyable one at home with Bakarr, Etta and Sia (our neighbor/nurse). Apr 19, 2012.

https://sabisalone.wordpress.com/2012/08
Just another WordPress.com site. Score: Michael Jackson, Black or White and Shakira Waka Waka (This Time for Africa). Sierra Leone’s most valuable resource is its people. The vast majority of them are strong, creative, resilient, helpful and inherently good. Any Sierra Leonean will tell you, without hesitation, that relationships are worth more than money. And I have learned to agree. I have helped, and I have been helpedand I’m pretty sure that is the point. Photo courtesy of Mr. Marrah). Mr Sahr Fillie...

We me yone (Where’s my own)? | Sabi Salone
https://sabisalone.wordpress.com/2012/06/14/we-me-yone-wheres-my-own
Just another WordPress.com site. We me yone (Where’s my own)? I’ve trained them to greet me this way, rather than rudely yelling Hey, white man! The way they used to do. I rewarded them for their politeness by sharing out candies. Uncle Jon, don send for wi tiday! I thank them for thanking me. I open my bag and give him his chocolate. He thanks me and gives me another hug. Before I look up, I hear a voice call, we me yone? In Sierra Leone, if you have something, you share it. That is the golden rule.
