Helping African country recover from a damaging war
So beautiful and so sad ... but recovering! I don't think I have ever been to a country as beautiful, or as sad, as Sierra Leone. The beaches and the mountains are breathtaking - the people are warm and friendly... but there has been so much damage and pain. However, the signs of recovery and stability are showing now - there are new hotels, roads, schools, hospitals and new hope. Have a look at some of my Sierra Leone pictures on the Sierra Leone website.

Sierra Leone in West Africa, suffered a long and brutal war which left the country bruised and poverty-stricken.
A lengthy media recovery project was undertaken by Cardiff-based Thomson Foundation, funded by Britain’s Department for International Development and organised locally by the British Council in Freetown.
It involved in-depth media consultancy as the country started recovering from a long and damaging war. McCreadie Media Services were called in to help.
Early in 2002 and again in 2003, Julie went to Sierra Leone, working as a consultant for the Thomson Foundation, to advise on the development of two websites - one for Government Information Service news and updates and the other as a website to 'market' Sierra Leone - a beautiful country - in a recovery plan to attract inward investment and sow the seeds for a tourism industry.
In October 2003, she returned for a third time to have a final input into the websites' production; help provide some photographs (the government picture archive was destroyed during the war); and train local journalists into maintaining and updating the websites.
These and many other pictures show the beauty and resilience of this amazing country. See more on the Sierra Leone website
