AT LAST ………………………. A Place to Sit and Read

The last few months have been a very busy one for us. The key highlights of the past weeks include the opening of the new library for the Nursing School, starting refurbishment of one of the old buildings destroyed during the war and organising ourselves for the new academic year.

The rehabilitation of a classroom attached to the old for use as a library could not have come at a better time. Previously the library was housed in a small room next to the former classroom. The library was too small and it was hardly used by any of the students. However thanks to monies donated to the hospital by benefactors who visited the Hospital in April this year, the School has now rehabilitated a much larger room for use as a library. This has come at a very opportune time because in the last three weeks the Nursing School received a donation of books and teaching aids from a national NGO for their continued support.

We want to take this opportunity to thank Karen and Erin for their financial support towards the rehabilitation of the old classroom block, thus making it possible for this library project to proceed.
Also our sincere thanks go to Medical Research Centre of Sierra Leone for donating medical books and mannequins (teaching aids) to the school.
