Sierra Leone: St George Refuge for Street Kids 5.30.2010


Relaxing after a game of American football. What a hoot!! The guys had no idea what to do with that odd shaped ball. The kids at St George have been rescued off the streets of Freetown where they have done "whatever" it took to survive.
They are in a safe place now!

Brooke's love for this boy, John Conteh, has led to a three-phase construction project and the desire to provide curriculum needs and training for the over-worked and under-paid staff of Hosetta School! We have only just begun!!
