It's "Mr. Cole"

Happy Birthday to Me
Apologies again for the unseemly gaps in my blogging, but internet is bad at the best of times, and with so many volunteers around at the moment, my net time is pretty limited. But I thought I'd better make a little time to lock myself in the ...

That Funky Monkey
After a full month in Sierra Leone, I've finally been able to head out and see some of the sights of this country. The "village" of Bo (at least 100,000), is all good and well, but there is only so much pollution, garbage, and neighbors playing full ...
Sierra Leone (Day 5)
... first NGO (non-governmental organization) . The reason for our meeting was to discuss what activities World Vision does in Sierra Leone and see if there are any partnership possibilities. They have no outreach to the amputees specifically. They were very ...
Freetown
La capitale on y passe toujours pour faire des visas, mais c est rarement le coup de foudre en Afrique. Toujours plus moche les unes des autres. Heureusement les gens sont tres sympathiques. J ai pris 2 heures avec l aide d un habitant de Freetown, entre ...
Sur le chemin de Freetown
Makeni est l ancienne base du RUF, une rebellion qui avait mis le sierra leone dans le chaos. Heureusement maintenant c est la paix, avec des villes qui ne sont pas des plus ...

Voici un peit poste frontiere : une petite cahute avec des douaniers tres gentils. Mais questions papiers, ils m ont fait n importe quoi. J ai du regulariser ma situation 3 jours plus tard a Freetown. Car cela faisait 3 jours que j etais dans le pays et ...
It's been one week...
My appologies all, but I just realized it's been about a week since my last post. Things are progressing steadily here, but with plenty of ups and downs to go arround. Here is a rundown of the last week. 1) Our cook may be giving us ...
Abstecher nach Sierra Leone
... Internet hier ist saulahm und ich hab nur noch ein paar Minuten: Bin jetzt seit Montagnachmittag in Freetown, der Hauptstadt von Sierra Leone und es ist einfach nur geil! Die Stadt ist auf einer huegeligen Halbinsel gebaut und hat mehr Leben als ganz ...
It's about itme
So I've been in Sierra Leone for a week now, and I'm just now getting around to creating a blog. Better late than never. It's ironic that I have time to do this today of all days, while I sit in the office with nothing to do, there is a nation ...
Now the work begins
I can't believe I've been here two weeks already. I've been busy every day so far, and things only now feel like their getting into full swing. The time hadn't really caught up to me until today, when three of the volunteers I came with ...
More Guff I wrote
... since a lot of things I can get here are a bloody sight cheaper than anywhere else... but I have to keep reminding myself that after Sierra Leone I go back to being a backpacker and I have to carry all this crap... But I don't think I'm going to be able ...
Merry Christmas
Well its been a trials and tribulations type Christmas here in Sierra Leone. It started with an adventurous Christmas eve when the doctor decided at 6pm that I really needed to take the medicine for my dodgy bell via a drip. So I spent most of Christmas ...
Mile 91
Yesterday we went on an excursion to Mile 91, which is a tiny village east of Freetown, where a cultural festival was due to open. It was the most amazing experience! To get there we had to tackle huge stretches of road that were littered with massive ...

We don't need no water, let it burn.
