Hello world!!!
Hope you and yours are doing well. I've been doing well, mostly because I am currently in Sierra Leone for my official Homecoming/Independence trip to Salone. During this time, I've been getting to know my fellow Sierra Leoneans, exploring my beautiful land of birth, visiting places, meetings, seeing familiar and new faces, etc. Due to my very busy schedule, I am currently unable to actively blog about each day, especially since I have multiple engagements each day and won't do justice in explaining each one every day. Therefore, I'll individually blog about all my experiences when my tour is over. However, I've been very consistent in sharing pictures of my day since my arrival on
facebook, so add me! Check out these photos below of what I've been doing so far.
