I will like to share with you the prevailing Circumstances affecting our community and Sierra Leone in general. Seeing the trend of the EBOLA virus Disease in the Country, it is practically impossible for most our farming communities to have a stable state of mind while seeing most their love ones dies. Most abandoned orphan children are in the street of towns today where they seek laborious work, and face to steal for survival and are mostly denied of shelter. The youths are unfamiliar with and isolated from the family bond that necessary for a child without a help of someone, the future look bleak as there are no role model to admire. They also exacerbate problems of theft that occur in the big towns.
The destiny of our people have politicized, corruption in handling the resources of the EBOLA is having a black lash in the spread of the disease.
Most of the sicknesses we have now have been there before the outbreak of the EBOLA.
Example: Fever, Diarrhea, Malaria, Head ache etc. All this are curable illness. Presently, there is no proper functioning Health facility to attend to patient suffering to the above illness let alone pregnant women. Many task force have been set up to oversee the handling of the EBOLA fund, some of these are:
a) The presidential EBOLA taskforce
b) District management taskforce
c) Ministry of health taskforce etc.
All this are factors in the siphoning of the EBOLA fund which had made matter to be worst. This traumatic event had disrupted normalcy among most of our family relatives. The emotional well-being of the communities, the ability to provide food care for their families is grossly affected, women and children are the most severely affected one.
The statistics below show the total number of death which had affected our garden communities nation wide:
This prevailing crisis had compelled us to write and ask for assistance in the following areas:
a) Food and condiments
b) Clothing
c) Cash for medical treatment
For our communities and for the bereaved families who have directly suffered from the death of their loved ones as a result of the EBOLA epidemic in Sierra Leone.
