Celebrating 3 Years In Sierra Leone….
January 19th, 2011 | 
Author: Approximately 3 years ago, yesterday, we arrived to live in Freetown on a permanent basis! 
WooowwwW! Sooo..oo much has happened since then, I’ve learnt a lot and overall, I’m VERY happy we came. We are all happy including the children and we look forward to a brighter future and a better Sierra Leone.
When we came, we arrived into a dark capital with only few lights dotted around on the hills, today light is available almost 24/7! Now, that’s something! And I’m brimming with hope and excitement.

3 Reasons To Clean Up Freetown
In terms of sanitation things are better than a few years ago but there’s still a mighty long way to go. Several years ago, rubbish collection was more or less non-existent and I remember when there was a big pile of rubbish at Lumley roundabout and the taxi I was using got stuck
there with no way to roll the windows up except for the driver to get down and physically pull the windows up!!! Oh my, I still laugh when I remember it. Thankfully that pile of rubbish has been cleared.
But really rubbish on the streets is no laughing matter. For the past 10 months or so, rubbish collection has been getting better, that is, until about 2 weeks ago. One only has to watch the news to see how Haiti is suffering with cholera. God forbid that in Sierra Leone,
So here are 3 reasons why Freetown needs cleaning up and stay clean:

Sample List Of Things To Buy When Coming Long-Term
Got a few people asking so here we go. This list is by no means comprehensive or mandatory as everything depends on your personal taste, likes and dislikes. Also, by all means do suggest some more by leaving a
comment.
This list here comprises of things you’ll save SERIOUS money on if you buy them abroad and import yourself. You can get these items in Freetown Sierrra Leone but either the prices are exhorbitant or the quality is not good.

8 Ways In Which My Life Is Easier In Sierra Leone
Just to let you know ….here are some of the ways in which my life is much easier here in Sierra Leone.
#1. Better and cheaper childcare - This ONE is one of the main benefits! In England, we had more less no family (no grandma of any sorts) available to help us with the children. And we dared not hire a childminder or such like because of the prevalence of paedophilia. So apart from the few hours a day they spent at school, we were their main stay which meant, we were not able to go out as often as we wanted, in fact rarely. But now, we have family and trusted hired help who can look after the children so we can go out a bit more often.
