Chairman off to Sierra Leone
Nigel Hyde is to visit TWO's project teams and communities in Sierra Leone this month. One of these is the United Polio Brothers an association of 95 people, mostly men who are afflicted by polio, some living with severe physical problems. Led by Chairman Paul Kabia and Secretary Alia Korama, the association owns around an acre of land on the site of a disused abattoir in Kissy, Freetown, which was donated by the Sierra Leoneon Government in 2000.
