This is Brima Ngegba, one of Advocate for Social Justice and Development - A S J D- SL diligent Field Officers who volunteered to be the Disc Joker when the music set was bought for child sponsorship.

Brima is captured with one of our community ambassadors at Canaan Community flaunting their dancing skills before in a competion that the host community representative took personally and won with ease.

Child sponsorship is all about funs. Communication should be done with ease. The kids enjoy the funs and eagerly await to play, sing and dance as they write their messages to their sponsorers. This time of the year is always exciting as the community ambassadors (children) write to their supporters in the Global North.

In this first media collection exercise, is collecting messages and photos update with funds from ActionAid Sierra Leone.
