Share Heart in Africa

On March 14th, at True North, I was blessed with the opportunity to meet Safi who is from Sierra Leon and is working to provide for persons who are living there. In Sierra Leon, 27 of 100 children will die before their 5th birthday. Guns are placed in the hands of boys as young as age 7. Infections, disease, poverty, lack of purified drinking water are a part of everyday life and affect the lives of children and adults. 56 of 100 adults will never reach age 60. Adequate education is stifled due to lack of educational supplies. The images that she shared with us were tragic.

More information can be found on their website.
