Recent fighting in Guinea and Liberia between government armies and rebels has worsen the plight of Sierra Leonean refugees in those countries. Thousands are trapped and are behind rebels lines at the borders of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Unfortunately they cannot be reached and are therefore deprived of basic necessities like food, medicine, water and clothing. Let us pray for an end to conflicts in these countries. There are feeding programmes for displaced children, and formation programmes on peace and reconciliation.
Youth work also takes up much of our time.
Collaboration with the local Church and the clergy is very healthy and cordial. The Church, having suffered is becoming stronger in its faith. The District is very grateful for the support it has received during this time of crisis. As we enjoy a bit of peace and the end of hostilities, let us pray for a speedy disarmament of all the combatants. We spend our energy, give our lives and our being, face spiritual and physical death so that we may have life and sustain it.
