A Special Day

Salieu, Yeabu, Jeneba, Fatmata, and Mariama are pupils of the Ahmadiyya Islamic primary school in the Wellington community of Freetown, Sierra Leone. Yeabu and Jeneba are in class one, Fatmata is in class two, Salieu is in class three, and Mariama is in class five.

The children received their nets on June 16th, the International Day of the African child.  This day highlights the condition of children in Africa and the donation of these nets helped to cement in their minds their importance as children.

These children all come from disadvantaged families with income levels below the poverty line, and they do not have mosquito nets at home to protect them from mosquito bites. They express their thanks for the provision of bed nets. They now feel secure from malaria.

Thank you Clay.
