The New Boats

Project Report | Aug 9, 2022
Summer Update

By Barmmy Boy Mansaray | Director

Dear GlobalGiving Community,

We are thrilled to share that on August 1st, U.S. Embassy Freetown, Sierra Leone hosted a preview screening of “The New Boats” documentary film followed by a brilliant panel discussion with members of the Tombo community, crew members of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Mohawk and Sierra Leone Marinetime Ministry Wing.

The conversation was focused on discussing illegal fishing and it's impact on local food security, livelihoods, and resulting migration. we also discussed the impacts of climate change, severe weather patterns, and how communities, governments, and partners can work together to alleviate these issues.

We look forward to future collaborations with the US Embassy as we gear up for our Sierra Leonean impact campaign. We have extensive plans for community-based screenings and the Sierra Leone movie premiere after the rains. If you would like to make a contribution to our ongoing impact campaign please donate using the link below.

With gratitude,

Barmmy Boy
