These Sierra Leonean schoolgirls live in a village that is two days away by road from Freetown. The area borders a remote corner of Guinea, and is known for the beauty of its mountains.
School attendance has increased dramatically as the country entered a period of peacebuilding, four years ago, and gradually reconstructed the social capital that had been devastated by the long years of brutality and civil war.
Sierra Leone is today a success story, including in terms of free elections. Now the nation needs to become more united and better prepared for the future.
These girls are part of tomorrow's Sierra Leone.
