Organised by the Women’s Wing of the All People’s Congress (APC) UK/Northern Ireland Branch, the fund-raising dance at the Lambeth Academy, South East London, attracted Sierra Leoneans not only in London, but other cities in the United Kingdom with a significant presence coming from Bristol and Reading.

“What more could we have ever wished for than such a massive turn out which by all indications is bound to project the image of the country in positive light,” said Women’s Wing Leader Kadie Buya Kamara, who disclosed that the show is part of their planned activities to boost the country’s 50th Jubilee Anniversary celebrations.
Buya said proceeds of the show will go towards providing logistics and other basic needs of the Ola During Children’s Accident & Emergency Department at the Princess Maternity Children Hospital (PCMH).
“We are proud to mark Sierra Leone’s 50th Jubilee Anniversary with such a memorable achievement for the children of Sierra Leone who are our future leaders,” said Women’s Wing leader Kadie Buya Kamara.
“This is a remarkable national venture that we must support for the future of our children tomorrow – that is why we had to turn out in numbers,” said Aminata Kamara.
Chairlady Kumba Momoh with other executive members
APC UK/Northern Ireland Branch Chairlady Kumba Momoh said as a branch they will do everything possible to boost the President’s Agenda For Change programmes especially on the health sector.
“The President means well for our country – he has initiated the free health care for our mothers and children which is quite unprecedented in the history of our country; therefore we must be seen to be complimenting his efforts,” Momoh said.

Momoh praised her branch’s Women’s Wing for what she described as a laudable national venture and called for more support from Sierra Leoneans in the Diaspora to boost the country back home.
Earlier, Kadie Buya welcomed guests after being introduced by the APC UK Branch Secretary General Tamba Opel Sumana.
The presence of Sierra Leone’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom/Northern Ireland Edward Mohamed Turay and his Deputy Tamba Mansa Ngegba and wife Nora Ngegba as well as the Chairman of the People’s Movement for Democratic Change (PMDC) John Komeh and a representative of the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) Beatrice Sewu boosted the programme.
