Educate the Future Leaders of Sierra Leone

In many countries globally, the change in seasons brings with them a change in the number of hours of light each day.  In the US, the time recently changed 1 hour because of Daylight Savings Time.  

This change emphasizes and acknowledges the importance of light and the benefits of light.  

We all can get more done when there is light or more light. Our lives are more productive and we are happier.  Light enables and rejuvenates.

While our beneficiaries in Sierra Leone do not have to adjust to the seasonal changes in the number of daylight hours,  the availability of light is also important to them.  

Having light at night so that they can study makes a big difference.

Mohamed (pictured) was very happy to receive a solar light. His comment was as follows: 

This solar light will help me to read at night and pass my exam.

This light will help him advance his education and career.

Together we helped to meet a need. We helped to remove a roadblock to his success.

This makes me want to do a happy dance.

The second boys’ mentoring program was held in February at the Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) Computer Lab.   A total number of 25 boys attended this session. Watches were distributed among mentees as a take-home package and transportation, food, and drinks were also provided to the boys.

The topic of this session was time management because it became apparent that it was a needed tool at the previous mentoring session as mentees arrived late due to morning errands and poor time planning.

The speaker asked the attendees:

• What is Time Management?
• Tips for Time Management:
• Why Time Management?
• Individual Plans for 2022:
• Benefits of Time Management:

The speaker then asked the mentees to write down their goals for 2022 and present one of the goals to the class. He also advised the boys to learn to manage their time and remove non-essential tasks or activities and focus on things that are beneficial to their studies, that would positively improve their lives. He said that the key reason for success is that of time management and the difference between successful individuals and non-successful ones is that of proper time management.

Your continued support is greatly appreciated as it will enable more boys' mentoring sessions and the educational resources they need to become the future leaders of Sierra Leone. If you haven't had the chance to sign up for a recurring donation yet, we warmly welcome your ongoing support.
