MD2B: 5 days in...5 continents visited...arrival in SL

I'm here in Sierra Leone with Joshua and Sylvester. After a 7hour flight and stop in Malaga, Sylvester and I landed from London. The people are friendly. The plane landed at night time at the international airport. It was small. Took another malaria pill yesterday. They are just great, let me tell you. We have met this morning to go over video and final preparations for the day. The nation building efforts here are strong. Our contact is a great woman by the name of Janet who works with the UN. She's a college classmate and friend of Sylvester who helps to look over projects that are ongoing with DA. I couldn't have made the trip with out Sylvester, a native Sierra Leonean, who I've worked with over the past year. The change of culture and pace is not overwhelming while completely different than anything I have ever experienced. Landing at the airport, there were several people in white coats checking vaccination cards. Were they doctors? Who knows. It is really exciting to be here and to hear about all that Develop Africa has impacted here. Soon we will be headed out to see some of the projects first hand. On the day I spent in London, I had the chance to catch a service at Westminster Abbey. The airport is on an island that you must cross to Freetown via ferry.
