You may have heard from the news the recent mudslide disaster which took the lives of many people and displaced according to CNN 20,000 people including 5,000 children in Sierra Leone. I am originally from Sierra Leone and although none of my family members were directly affected, I know people who lost their lives and others lost entire family members.

A team of us in the UK from Sierra Leone have decided to provide direct assistance to the victims and being conscious of the potential for the assistance to be wrongfully diverted to personal use; we have devise this approach for the support:
• Ship/take assistance to Sierra Leone
• A volunteer among us fly to Sierra Leone and
• Distribute support directly to the victims affected by the incident

In this regard, I am appealing for your support in the form of:
• Donations
• Used clothing and shoes
• Non-perishable food items and
• Any other item(s) that could bring a smile on the face of the victims even for a day
