I am leaving Sierra Leone to return home to Brisbane next week ..a long 4 day trip . When I arrive I will self Quarantine myself (with the help of www.pk4a). I believe it is MY DUTY OF CARE as a professional and as a Christian to avoid putting anyone at risk of contacting Ebola simply because I chose to heed the call to come to Sierra Leone.

I am an educator not a health care worker but a nurse in USA caught riding her bike when she was supposed to be in Quarantine….really what was she thinking?. Why has a moral obligation become a legal matter?

I have spent 5 months in S.L taking care where I go, how I interact with people and what I wear….why all the fuss about a 21 day quarantine? I will get running hot water, TV, WiFi and a time to rest and reflect. Sure I have to wait to greet my loved ones and give my little grandson a hug …but come on volunteers, if you are truly humanitarian then think about the people in your home country who could be at risk ( no matter how low the risk) it is the common sense RIGHT thing to do.

Schooling Ebola and Education

C2C kids There is so much I could write about the Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone. It is the topic of discussion and debate wherever one turns here. I am sure you are bombarded by daily updates (and hourly ones I am told by my family back in Australia). BUT just for a moment, I want to step outside the chaos, the fear and the tragedy of this colossal catastrophe.
