About Me

In 2002 during the ceasefire, I came back to Sierra Leone with my mother. There was no opportunity for school so I jumped into diamond mining. I didn't even know what a diamond was, and the conditions were rough. In 2004 an NGO called World Vision came to Kono and encouraged me to go back to school. They offered to pay my school fees, so I decided to drop the shovel and the shaker and I picked up the pen and the book.
