How long have you worked at the CRC?: “I started working March 2001. At the time I was a teacher for middle school. I was made the Field Supervisor and worked in a camp for displaced people from Kono. Kono was so destroyed that no one could live there. So many children were in the camp and not going to school so we built a four room school and taught them until they were able to move back to Kono. Then I started to work with the residential children and focus on their education.” What do you like most about working at the CRC?: “I really thank God, it has really improved my life, I have really learned a lot about children and leadership. What is your biggest accomplishment?: “The number one success is the 40 original children we started with in 2000. Seeing them pass through my hands and go on to university and come back to do great things for CRC. Also, I started as an intermediate staff and passed to become a senior staff. I think I really understand the organization, children, and partners. How does it feel to see the children you raised grow up and become your coworkers?: “I feel so good. They have that respect and they really appreciate all that has been done for them when they were growing up. Anything else you want people to know?: “What I want to say is, the reason why the team is working out well, is you need people who have vast experience to help build others up to continue the work. It is also good to have young people in the job. We pray that with what we have, we will continue to do good work for God.”
