Empowering future leaders is more than just providing them with education, it is also empowering them with the skills and knowledge they need to counter stereotypes and obstacles in achieving their goals.
With the help of mentoring sessions, future leaders can become motivated, be more confident in their abilities, and be outspoken. Mentoring closes gaps and truly impacts lives. Your support helped cover the costs of girls’ & boys’ mentoring sessions in 2022.
The mentoring sessions covered topics such as Self-esteem and Goal setting to help DASL boys and girls improve their self-esteem and build smart goals, Time Management to teach DASL mentees practical time management tips, Adolescence reproduction, and relationships, a field trip to help the mentees learn about developmental issues in Sierra Leone, Smart thinking and leadership to teach boys and girls basic problem solving and innovative tips, Personal hygiene and self-care, STEM Lego project, Financial literacy to discuss significant financial knowledge necessary for making critical financial decisions, and a Debate and quiz competition to bring the two mentoring components together to debate on relevant issues affecting human capacity development in Sierra Leone. This video shows a recap of mentoring in the past.
We greatly appreciate your support for the future leaders in Sierra Leone and invite you to consider a year-end donation to support mentoring sessions in 2023.

We are excited to announce that thanks in part to your generosity 31 drums full of school supplies left the Tenessee office on Dec 1st to be shipped to Sierra Leone.
These drums are full of school supplies that will make a difference for hundreds of students in Freetown, Kamawornie, Bo, and Makeni. Students from elementary school through high school will receive much-needed supplies including- pencils, pens, paper, notebooks, book bags, rulers, erasers, pencil sharpeners, crayons, glue, and more. The drums also include calculators, solar lights, and kindles/e readers/iPads. Teaching and classroom supplies are also included for teachers such as chalk, teaching materials, and books.
Your support is truly appreciated by the students in Sierra Leone. If you have not had the chance to sign up for a recurring donation yet, we warmly welcome your ongoing support to provide more children with the educational resources they need to be the Future Leaders of Sierra Leone.

Thanks to your support, 340 tables and chairs were transported and delivered to schools in the Freetown / Western area - including Chapel International Primary School, Dantrimark Academy, Prince of Wales Secondary School, REC Primary School, Savage Square Municipal Primary School, and Services Secondary School.
The students, teachers/school leadership, were very thankful to receive the desks and chairs. This meets a definite need as schools need new furniture with increased enrollment. Also, some schools are moving from 2 shifts to 1 shift - meaning a substantial demand for more chairs and desks. This also reduces any additional costs parents will have to bear in purchasing furniture for the school.
We invite you to countdown with us to #GivingTuesday, November 29th. GlobalGiving’s GivingTuesday campaign will last 24 hours, from 00:00:00 EST to 23:59:59 EST, on November 29, 2022.
GlobalGiving has bonus funds that will make each donation received go even further, which will help more students in Sierra Leone with their educational needs.

Currently, there are 79 students attending computer classes at the Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) Computer Lab. Presently, the computer classes run in three shifts- one class in the morning and two classes in the afternoon from Monday to Friday.
The students are at varying levels in their computer training, which includes Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft Access, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Classes are set up so that everyone has access to their own computer and are available at varying times and days depending on the group each student is in.
We greatly appreciate your ongoing support for the future leaders in Sierra Leone. Thanks to you, more youths and young adults are getting the computer training they need for success in today's technology-driven environment.
