On Thursday 10th July I was one of the panelists on a "Response to Ebola" event held by the Sierra Leone High Commission in the UK. Hosted by the High Commissioner, Edward Turay and chaired by London-based Sierra Leonean journalist Ade Daramy, the event was a really great initiative and brought Sierra Leoneans together for a serious cause. The focus was getting a reliable update on the crisis in Sierra Leone and brainstorming on how the UK Diaspora can help.
