a note from the founder

After years away, finally being home, and for more than just a visit, is beyond exciting. While I am looking forward to being with my Sierra Leone family, my mission here is much more serious.

I am returning home after 23 years in the United States Army and as a senior executive at the White House to fight for our families, to end this crisis, and to save our mothers. To do this, I will need all of you. We must visit each of our clinics, meet with medical professionals, listen, learn, and observe all that we can so that our experts can best assess what needs to change.

F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, “It's a funny thing about coming home. Nothing changes. Everything looks the same, feels the same, even smells the same. You realize what's changed is you."

My Journey home has been many years in the making. No matter what part of the world I was in, Sierra Leone always remained at the forefront of my heart and mind.

Speak up if you want to bring change to the world.

Waiting is something I cannot do, my father would never have allowed it. I was not raised to sit idly by while our people were left to suffer.

And so the Journey must begin. Together, we will bring about the change Sierra Leone so desperately needs. This is our mission, to change and save lives. To fight for our mothers!
