Rev. Idrissa Murana

Mar 10 2010 Published by Ben Quant under Education,SLM News

We recently received the following sad news from Augustine Willaims:

I  regret to report the sudden death of Rev Idrissa Murana the acting principal of the Huntingdon Junior Secondary School Allen Town. He passed away during the early hours of Wednesday morning after a brief illness. The burial will take place in his home town at a date to be announced later.

Meanwhile, I have declared a two day period of mourning on Thursday 4th to Friday 5th March. May his soul rest in perfect peace.

It’s a Small World

One of our first visits during our stay in Sierra Leone was to the Milton Margai School for the Blind where we had a wonderful time. There they sang to us and enthusiasm and joy – here is a taste for you! Wonderful how the gift of song can cut across cultural differences and make it indeed a small world…

To find out more about our visit here, read this post from the diary of our stay.
