The mentoring program took 47 students (28 girls & 19 boys) on a field trip to York Village. Thanks in part to your support, each attendee received a take-home package of cornflakes, 1 roll of powder milk, one packet of sugar, and packets of biscuits. Transportation and lunch were also provided to the beneficiaries.
York village is recognized for its diverse historical content. The King’s Yard was the first site that was visited, then the tour guide took the mentoring attendees to the York cave where slaves were kept to be transported to Europe during the slave trade era. The Town Hall was the final spot that was visited and the tour guide explained the history behind the construction and purpose of the Town Hall.
All of the students enjoyed the field trip and were grateful that they could attend and learn on this field trip. Your continued support is greatly appreciated as it will enable more mentoring sessions and educational resources for the future leaders of Sierra Leone. If you haven't had the chance to sign up for a recurring donation yet, we warmly welcome your ongoing support.
