The Lauretta Will Educational Foundation had an awards banquet on November 13, 2010. We now bring you pictures on that important event held in Atlanta, Georgia.\u00a0 In the photo: Honourable Saspo Sankoh, First Secretary and Acting Head of Chancery, Sierra Leone Embassy received an award for the support from the Sierra Leone Embassy, on behalf of His Excellency Bockarie Stevens, Sierra Leone Ambassador to the United States.

\u201c I\u2019m currently teaching MBA classes on Leadership, EBusiness, Globalization and Computer Applications and International Business courses at Strayer University, American InterContinential University (AIU) on Ground, AIU Online and Troy University.\u00a0 So I would love to share some of the knowledge of the current global trends with the University community in Sierra Leone\u201d Professor Will said.<\/p>\n
Since 2004, founder, Dr. Lauretta Will, has been relentlessly collecting college and high school textbooks and keeping them in her garage, and closets and then pack them in barrels for neighborhood distribution and for shipment to Sierra Leone. In 2009, the project was incorporated and institutionally publicized. A Board of Directors and an Advisory Board were formed. By rough estimation, the worth of donated textbooks, encyclopedia and educational materials had exceeded the 5-year $100,000.00 goal.
