Promoting patriotism in Sierra Leone

[JAF @JAkarFoundation]

Do you show #SierraLeone you love her through self-sacrifice? Eg salary cut, avoiding street traders, queuing when you can easily jump them, rejecting contracts when asked for bribes and driving the right way.
What do or don’t you do? Why?
Benefits & risks to self & country?

Happy Independence Day to all Sierra Leoneans. Join the conversation. Next Friday 6 May we will be talking about showing #SierraLeone we love her through personal sacrifice.

Renovating the bookshop in my village which stocks the largest collection of books written by Sierra Leoneans all over the world. Not all good things must be in cities. Those of us born and bred in small villages must uplift their images in diverse ways. SLWS Publisher @oasankoh
