Facts: Sierra Leone is recovering from a devastating civil war that left much of the country’s infrastructure broken or none-existent. They are trying to rebuild, but rebuilding takes a long time. Consequently, children have to travel long distances to get to the few remaining schools. Many students travel 5 miles one-way to get to the closest school. For these reasons we feel that Sierra Leone is a perfect candidate for what we do at Pedals For Africa. We feel privileged and proud to be a part of helping rebuild a country full of abundant natural beauty and kind hearted people that are working hard at a better future for themselves and their children.
