Sierra Leone International Womens Club Visit Maronka

Members of the International Womens Club in Sierra Leone visited Maronka and they were very impressed by our work.

They watched a drama performed by the Eagles about anti-trafficking and slavery and then we had a tour of the classrooms and the village and followed with lunch. The women gave us very positive feedback on our teaching methods and the good behaviour of the children. A special thank you to all the women for visiting us and giving the children such generous gifts.

 Lunch with Cobra our headteacher

 Posing with Mamyfatu, the Chiefs mother

and we popped into the Rolal secondary school for a visit on our way back to Freetown.

One of the women Julia has her own blog and I have attached her link below for you to read what she said about the visit.

Maronka Boys House

The building of the boys accommodation is now well underway in Maronka. They currently sleep scattered around the village as it is so cramped but within the next few months they will all be sleeping together just like the girls do, great progress.

Thank you so much to all our supporters who made this possible, here are some photos I took on the site this week.

Mixing cement and eating mangoes, the only way to do it.

Mariama Maronka Girls Fashion label

Maronka Girls have started up their very own fashion label, Mariama...............

Sheka our local tailor in Port Loko is providing dressmaking lessons for the girls. The skills they learn through dressmaking are something that they can use in the future and no matter what direction their young lives take they will always have these skills.

Nancy and Mary enjoying learning and having fun too ; )
