The CRC staff has worked hard for 18 months to ensure that the remaining residential children have had ample opportunity to form attachments with the families with whom they’ll be reunified this summer. Families and children have benefited from frequent interactions both at the CRC facility and in their own homes within the Bo community, including having children spend weekends and long vacations at their families’ homes. The children and their families were very excited to leave the CRC on March 23rd in order to spend the Easter Holidays together. All the students will return to the CRC on April 3rd, 2018.
Due to the ongoing presidential elections being held in Sierra Leone, a special session was held with the parents prior to the children’s departure. Members of the CRC staff addressed various topics relating to child care and protection during the busy and somewhat hectic election season. The program concluded with refreshments for parents, children, and CRC staff at the CRC dining hall.

Nine month old Batu Johnny weighs just 15 pounds. Thanks to the Mercy Outreach team and the generous support of donors, Batu was enrolled in the nutrition program, and has received her first package of Bennimix. Her mother Agnes is so grateful. "The Bennimix supply by Mercy Hospital Outreach team has increased my child’s appetite and nourished her. With three children to cater for, at times I only can afford a single meal a day. Thanks for the intervention of the Mercy Hospital Outreach team, my baby will have enough every day.”
Millicent Koroma, 18 months old, was examined in her village of Nyandehun by the Mercy Hospital Outreach team. Weighing just 16 pounds, Millicent is enrolled in Mercy’s nutrition program, and has received 6 packages of Bennimix over the past six months.
When the staff examined her, they discovered that she had a high fever, cough and appeared to be in serious respiratory distress. She and her mother were referred to Mercy Hospital for prompt medical intervention. As soon as she recovered, she and her mother were able to return home. |
