- Day 2 of our UNCT retreat featured a fireside chat with Proff. Joe A.D. Alie, 🇸🇱’s leading historian. From what first drew him to history to how Sierra Leoneans narrate war, Ebola & recovery differently than abroad, his insights reminded us that history isn’t just the past.

On my last day in the office, and as I am leaving #SierraLeone today, the @UNICEFSL team surprised me with a wonderful farewell moment. And I was even served cassava leaves, my favourite Sierra Leone dish … 😊 I am very proud of what we have achieved together #ForEveryChild
