A note from Aminata Adam-Samura:
This project is personally near and dear to my heart because of the difference it makes in the lives of underprivileged children. Almost all children in the disadvantaged communities have never had a school bag. Also, the parents of these children can not afford books or pencils for their children. The head teachers tell us that children do not come to school because their parents can not provide them with basic school materials. Consequently, these children drop out of schools and engage in societal vices. In addition, there is a lack of medical supplies at the community clinics which are rundown. Many international organizations and companies have made sizeable donations to Sierra Leone to help rehabilitate those affected by the war. However, many of these donations were not used for their intended purposes and did not reach their target group.
Our input might be a drop in the ocean, but as the adage goes "A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step." We hope that the current Boundless Hope projects will be a start and that many other people will get on board and together we will make a difference. These children are our future leaders. Let’s motivate, train, inspire and inform them of the importance of a great education, good health and fitness, responsibility and accountability. The more literate people we have, the more the country will prosper. Aid is only as good as the ability of a country to use it effectively.
