Rogies’ Sierra Leone, West Africa reflections - July 2006-2007:
The ten most important things I experienced in Salone.
- Trust in God, health, safety, food, housing, provisions in a poor culture, no insurance(s).
- Trust in People, who is a friend, who can I trust
- Love for those who are different, Christians with 5 wives, Muslims, Animists
- Community living, dealing with one another’s living styles
- Globalisation -Lexus and the Olive Tree, rich, materialism, technology, poor with cell phones
- Concept of love-different expressions of it, i.e. no affection shown to children, multiple wives, girlfriends
- Fatalism – God killed my child why do I need to go to the hospital with my child?
- Traditions/culture stronger than common sense, female genital mutilation, children with disabilities, ritual murders, devil societies
- Allocation of resources must be efficiently used in order for survival, sustainability, self-preservation
- Accountability of self and materials and the worldly goods we have
Don't get caught with egg on your face.
