Sierra Leone’s health and medical care is woefully inadequate, reflected in the extraordinary mortality statistics.

Augustine, having achieved excellent grades in his senior secondary public exams, has entered the College of Medicine and Health Studies to train as a doctor.  It is a long and challenging task in any country.  In Sierra Leone it is doubly so with resources being meagre, the correct books hard to come by and corrupt lecturers a commonplace.

Augustine Bundor [left] was living down the road from EducAid and sleeping on a disused freezer when he first came to the school.  He is highly intelligent and very hard-working.  On completion of his senior secondary studies he served for 2 years as a voluntary member of junior staff in Rolal and in that sense it was a great loss to the teaching staff when he gained sponsorship into the College of Medicine.  A friend of EducAid has taken the responsibility of paying his fees and maintenance and we wish him every luck.
