News2share exclusive Interview with Senate Witnesses for Ebola
The Healey International Relief Foundation has been aiding relief efforts in Sierra Leone since 2005. Following the Ebola outbreak, their efforts have been used more than ever to combat this epidemic. On Tuesday, September 16th, 2 prominent members of the Sierra Leone community were invited by Senator Tom Harkins to testify on a joint senate hearing about the Ebola Crisis in West Africa. Peter Konteh, Executive director of Caritas in Freetown, and Ismael Charles, former child solider of the Blood Diamonds war and HIRF ground project manager, spoke to the Senate about worsening economic, security, and health concerns and conditions in their homeland, Sierra Leone.
