Bio
I am the former President for the children of Sierra Leone through the Children's Forum Network and also the Former Sierra Leone Child Expert to the Economic Commission for West African States (ECOWAS)]
I am the current Sierra Leone Youth Representative to the 101 Young African Leaders Forum.
I have worked with a lot of International organizations like Unicef,Plan,CARITAS,CARE,Save the Children UK,DCI-SL,Red Cross etc to implement both child survival and child protection programmes
Finally i was a child war soldier who was captured by the rebels in Sierra Leone in 1998 and i was with them for 6 months and this was the oddest time in my life but i still have the courage that am a change maker and this odd has now been my foundation of what am doing now for children and young people in Sierra Leone and Africa
