We propose to send a few people to Newton in October this year. Unfortunately the timing of the Sierra Leonian elections has meant that the proposed visit in August 2007 has had to be postponed.al situation allowing.  The purpose of the visit is to improve and further the links between the schools and the churches, to improve communications, to look at progress on the Skills Centre and to assess what other projects we could possibly get involved with. We are particularly interested in the provision of health care. If anyone is interested in joining the visiting party please get in touch.

2004:   The Sierra Leonian Govt made it compulsory for all parents to send their children to school. Education is supposed to be free but many school administrators charge a fee of around £30 per year. The average adult wage in Sl is £80 per annum.

2007/8 : the SL Govt has built around 500 new schools but there is nowhere near enough teachers or books. Over half the teachers already employed are unqualified

This is why they need our help we send over books supply money to train teachers and money for book.
