In November of 2008, a handful of Sierra Leoneans in the Diaspora lead by the Sierra Leone Ambassador to the United States, Mr. Bockari Stevens, gathered together at the Sierra Leone Embassy in Washington DC to discuss an initiative on a way to present a gift that would be beneficial to Sierra Leone to mark the country’s 50th independence anniversary on 27th April 2011. After several brainstorming sessions, the original idea evolved into the inception of the Sierra Leone Arc of Hope (SLAH), a registered 501-C-3 non-profit, non political, tribal, race, gender, religion, colour, or nationality organization with a wider scope of objectives to deliver to Sierra Leone. The objective of SLAH’s first project is to construct a modern hospital to address the dire health needs of the people in Sierra Leone and to introduce a program whereby health care and educated professionals in the Diaspora engage in volunteer services while on vacation in Sierra Leone. The Sierra Leone Arc of Hope is encouraging every one, Sierra Leoneans and friends of Sierra Leone to collaborate and help make this dream come true. |
