The Sierra Leone Arc of Hope (SLAH), a 501-C-3 non-profit and non-political organization wishes to inform the public of its latest success. \u00a0SLAH has secured a ten (10) acre land in Waterloo, off New Freetown Waterloo \u2013 Masiaka Highway for the construction of a state of the art children\u2019s hospital.<\/p>\n
We hope to turn the soil in December this year, and \u201cconstruction to begin early next year\u201d.<\/strong> \u00a0Fellow Sierra Leoneans, and friends of Sierra Leone, we are relentlessly appealing to all to give full support to this project.<\/p>\n This health sector project will definitely help to curb the infant and maternal mortality and poverty in Sierra Leone, because study clearly shows that a well educated but unhealthy person is less productive, and children who are in poor health cannot learn effectively. \u00a0Please remember that education and health<\/strong> are the cornerstones of human capital, development, and eradication of poverty.<\/p>\n SLAH is a collection of patriotic Sierra Leoneans, and friends of Sierra Leone from diverse backgrounds, regions, and affiliations who have come together to put country first, and to address Sierra Leone\u2019s child and maternal mortality by constructing a state of the art hospital in Sierra Leone to contribute to the country\u2019s educational, socio-economic, and infrastructural development. \u00a0The hospital building will have a memorial wall with the names of all contributors to the project! <\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Please, become a part of this noble cause, and help to save the lives of many in Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n Please visit the website www.slahope.org<\/a> to make an on-line donation, or attend the fund raising effort scheduled for October, 2011 in the United States, and in December in Sierra Leone. \u00a0Specific dates will be provided, so stay tuned.<\/p>\nDr. John Sandy<\/address>\nEmail: jsandy1@comcast.net<\/a><\/address>\n001-610-529 2200<\/address>\n Stay with Sierra Express Media, for your trusted place in news!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Sierra Leone Arc of Hope (SLAH), a 501-C-3 non-profit and non-political organization wishes to inform the public of its latest success. \u00a0SLAH has secured […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":75801,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[671,745,1],"tags":[2052,1909,8600,1102,1103],"class_list":["post-24506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-life-and-entertainment","category-uncategorized","tag-dr-john-sandy","tag-health-care","tag-land-for-hospital","tag-sierra-leone-arc-of-hope","tag-slah"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sierraexpressmedia.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sierraexpressmedia.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sierraexpressmedia.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sierraexpressmedia.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sierraexpressmedia.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sierraexpressmedia.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24506\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sierraexpressmedia.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/75801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sierraexpressmedia.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sierraexpressmedia.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sierraexpressmedia.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
