Technically meaning that Liberia is as safe health wise as many other countries. The end to the ebola epidemic seems to be also making progress in the other rich resource country, the land of Diamonds, Sierra Leone. Which had a recent report of only 10 cases of ebola acknowledged. A fashion trend of wearing yellow began when the women of Sierra Leone (and some men) began to wear yellow as a campaign to recognise the women’s fight and contributions to put and end to the virus. It all began right before the 3 day lock down where the country was hit with a stay home cerfew and foreign and local scientists went door to door testing citizens for the virus.

Women are playing a leading role as we strive to and stay at zero, and we thank them for this,” said the NERC CEO. The campaigned had been picked up by some leading figures of the nation and then trickled it’s way down. See pictures below.

I too want to support the cause. I will pass on the word. Will this be an annual event? Or a particular day event? Please let me know. I hope I haven’t missed it yet. I am sorry for the loss of all the people who died from this terrible disease. I will continue to pray for us all. God bless you all. Bernice Marlow Comments are closed.
