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

Internet - Freetown Sierra Leone

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
