Honoring Heroes Completed March 2007

We realized that part of what contributes to citizens valuing the significance of their culture is by honoring and celebrating heroes who had provided significant services to their community. We have been challenged to construct the "Heroes Triangle" in Kenema town where prominent people like Salia Koroma (pictured left), a very popular accordionist in Sierra Leone whose poetic lyrics were/and are still very educative; and Dr. Alpha Lavalie who started the 'Kamajor' uprising against the RUF rebels during the civil conflict. That Kamajor group later transformed into a civil defense force (CDF) which, to a very large extent is believed to have contributed quite a lot to bringing the 11 years of civil conflict to an end.
