Empowerment and Education Equal Opportunities

The People's Foundation for Sierra Leone is a non-profit organization that was established in 2009 with the primary aims of providing mentoring and counselling services to youth who are struggling with issues such as sexual abuse and HIV/AIDS, enabling them to rise above adversity and pursue their dreams through university education. We sponsored 4 students last year, and with the funds we have raised this year, we will be sending those 4 students back to their 2nd year of studies, as well as enabling 4 new students to start their dreams. Follow our work over the next 4 months as our director Krissi Bucholtz travels back to Sierra Leone to carry out the programs. For more information about our organization, please check our new website.

Heading out to Africa

Well, I spent a nice week in Birmingham, Scotland, and London, and now I am catching my flight over to Africa! I will be flying through Kenya and then arriving in Sierra Leone Thursday afternoon. I'm so excited to be heading back, and even more excited to see where this summer takes the program and all the plans God has in store for it! I had some great planning meetings about the program with Katie, the co-founder, and Charles, my 'big brother' in London who is going to really help us develop this program into a sustainable, functioning, and hopefully well funded reality. I'm looking forward to being back in Africa and hearing what everyone in Sierra Leone has to say and contribute to this dream! Much love, I miss everyone in Canada so much...I will be sure to post once I have arrived in Sierra Leone. Katie gets in on Friday, so please pray for safe travel for her as well.
