Africablog: Operation Classroom '07

Later this week, Warner Bros. releases Blood Diamond, an action drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou and Jennifer Connelly. They were on Oprah today, too.

It seems that our trip coincides with a real upturn in awareness of what went on in the 90s and what's going on today in Sierra Leone.

I pray that what we do will complement the efforts of others around the world to tell the story and make things better in partnership with the students, staff, and families of Jaiama Secondary School and the people of the area.
