There’s no place in the world like the African continent, and there’s certainly no place in Africa quite like its Western shore. For being such a small country, in a tucked-away corner of the world, the nation of Sierra Leone certainly has received its fair share of international spotlight and media attention. This has been in large part due to the civil war that ravaged the country nearly 20 years ago (think Blood Diamonds) and, more recently, the deadly Ebola outbreak that claimed thousands of lives. Despite getting knocked down on her feet time and time again, crippled in many ways by systemic poverty and political corruption, this country and her people exhibit a warmth, a friendliness, and a resiliency of spirit that is both convicting and inspiring.
