Freetown Market

We spent the 2nd last day walking around Freetown taking pictures. I love that Fat Albert-like bubble gum sign.

Rock-breaking story

One of the last stories I did was with Mohammed Jimmy about the hundreds of men women and children who break rocks into gravel for a living. It turns out most of them are farmers who can earn a better living coming to Freetown to do that than they can growing crops in the provinces. Sadly this was yet another story that never came to fruition because the journalist didn't put any effort into finishing it.

Garbage Beach

This garbage--which lasted for about a week--washed up one day. They claim it was from Guinea. It was full of needles and other hospital waste. I felt bad because it was the first day the new JHR trainers arrived and we took them to the beach to show them how awesome they were. Awesome indeed.
