What a joy to have Yvonne Aka-Sawyer, Mayor of Freetown and her team visited Destiny Village yesterday. It was amazing how many people on our staffs knew each other. Yvonne met some of the residents and heard their first-hand stories. She had the opportunity to see our first businesses in action. Coming on a day where we were interviewing family members to move from the slums made the opportunity so real.
The Mayor has some wonderful initiatives in play, and we have been working with the Council on their approach to low-cost housing, communities, resettlement and upgrade. We are excited to be delivering what Sierra Leone leaders passionately want for their people and keen to participate as called on.
