Sierra Leone Conference, AKA: NYC part 0

By in Black & White, travel

This past weekend I got to meet a lot of interesting people including the Sierra Leonian ambassadors to the United States and Germany. The conference itself was also very interesting, not only because of the people, but because of the thrust behind it. Truly a conglomeration of people who care deeply deeply about the success of this small west African country–wether it be the education, clean water, or clean living, all were together brainstorming about the future.

It was quite encouraging.

There is something inherently smart about being able to introduce yourself as Smart. Because it’s your first name.

Smart.Jack and our host, Steve.My good friend Denise who travled with me. She actually posed for a picture, but I thought this was a little too quintessential to pass up.

Tomorrow: NYC part 1
