Abraham Jimmy, one of the first orphans helped, recently graduated in medicine at a University in Ghana. He was stranded there since his graduation this spring because of Covid 19. In late September he finally was able to return to Sierra Leone where he will be setting up a mobile medical clinic to help provide healthcare to his countrymen. Here he is thanking everyone who helped him, and who helped to build the new school which he is touring for the first time. Finda Kamara, the orphanage house mother is by his side.
Here’s an update from Finda Kamara, the orphanage founding director: The children in the orphanage are doing great and had a pleasant 2019 Christmas and a happy end of year celebrations. They had fun with each other and enjoyed the end of year activities with support from SLAM committee and Jericho Road Ministry. The children have started attending school since schools reopened on the 6th January, 2020.
Ride along with ADW co/founder and volunteer Jason Dudek and make the drive from Kono Hotel to the SLAM orphanage in Eastern Sierra Leone. This video is a striking audio-visual presentation of the state of Sierra Leone’s diamond mining capital which was at the epicentre of the country’s decade long civil war.
ADW’s SLAM project fundraiser, “The World Is Your Runway” fashion show was a great success in 2012 with 350 people in attendance. $2000 was raised for the SLAM orphanage in Sierra Leone, and the show was an exciting mix of fashion, music and youth performances. Thank You to everyone who came – this year’s show will be held November 16th. Event Details are Below:
