In 2010, the Diaspora Initiative of North America (DINA)<\/strong> a nonprofit organization located in the State of Georgia United States of America has stepped forward with this mission: \u201cTo Foster the Discussion between the Diaspora, Sierra Leone and West Africa.\u201d This initiative is about ESTABLISHING A BASIS FOR HEALING AND RECONNECTION of Africans and African Americans. To turn this corner we\u2019ve designed \u201cThe Siaka Stevens Center\u201d a development of a new central library to be located in the City of Freetown, Sierra Leone, Africa. The Siaka Stevens Center will consist of four components: the Library, Museum, Conflict Resolution Building, and the Auditorium. This catalyst development will initiate \u201cA Future That Ushers In A Change That Brings Lasting Transformation; Grounded In Reality, Exhibiting Healing, Peace and Prosperity In The 21st Century\u201d for West Africa and America.<\/p>\n

Last week in Manhattan, NY USA DINA met with President Ernest Bai Koroma to acquaint him with this initiative. The President\u2019s response was positive and receptive towards this initiative, and he has committed to ensuring that land for this project be allocated.<\/p>\n
