Scholarship Day in Sierra Leone
The annual awarding of secondary school scholarships to children in our nine schools in Sierra has become an important day of celebration in Lunsar for students, parents and teachers.
The day is organised by SHF Country Director, Alimamy Samura, with the able assistance of Ibrahim Kamara and Augustine Sesay.
This year there were 193 benficiaries.
Cameroon Projects
Cameroon is home to a forgotten war. The civil war in the Anglophone region has resulted in many deaths and hundreds of thousands of displacements.
The SHF school in Koano was closed for a long time and it has reopened in a restricted way. One of the teachers was shot dead by government troops.
The Irish government advises against travel and the area where SHF operates is dangerous.
Nevertheless, in cooperation with partners ESARDEF led by Etang Mbeng we have managed to contribute to health and education. Jointly with US foundation Global Pearls we funded an ultrasound machine in the Eyumojock District Hospital helping to lower maternal and infant mortality.
Our scholarship programme continues in Debundscha school.
Work is progressing slowly at the water scheme in Efah where we have funded the piping to renew the scheme.
School in Rogballan Madina Painting
Our school in Rogballan Madina, Sierra has been given a new coat of bright paint.
Zambia
Working with Richard Salunoka we continue to improve the school in Chitukuko, Lusaka. We have funded more desks, computers, painting of the whole school and re-roofing. It will be re-named SHF Chitukuko Community Primary School in October when an SHF delegation visits.

Clinic Upgrade in Cameroon
With the help of our partners, Global Pearls in the USA and ESARDEF in Cameroon the clinic in Adjayukndip has been refurbished. Our friend Etang Mbeng organised the update.
This brings a little relief in this war-ravaged country.
