Sorry Folks! Despite the fact that there were several Internet Cafes' in Freetown, the service left everything to be desired. I tried to post to our blog on several ocassions without success. We are now back in London. I will endeavor to post the story of our journey with pictures over the next couple weeks or so. In the interim....this is fun....during our travels through a small town called Grafton, I noticed a young boy wearing a Canucks hockey jersey. Of course I insisted we stop for a picture. He was initially reluctant. I had to explain that his jersey was my soccer team back in Canada. We later learned that Grafton was home of a large refugee camp for displaced people during the civil war. Scott
Welcome
As of November 4th 2010, we will be traveling from Vancouver British Columbia to Sierra Leone West Africa for a two week adventure. This will likely be the most exotic trip we have taken to date. Sierra Leone is described as a beautiful albeit poor country in the midst of change as it emerges from years of civil war. The Jones family has been involved in the funding for construction of a school in a small town called Mabureh 50Km outside of the capital city of Freetown. As part of our journey through Sierra Leone, we will visit the school and film a short documentary in support of further school construction. This blog will serve to share our African experience with all who may be interested. Thanks. Scott Norrena & Tamara Jones
