Can Diaspora Members help to rebuild their post-conflict communities?

The answer is obviously yes! One historic fact is that since the beginning of creation, the world has always revolved around the adage that " No man is an Island" and as we moved further into history, we witnessed the slave trade in which Africans were the ultimate victims in all the varied desguises of slavery and slave trade. In any case, some form of exchange and mutual benefits accompained the slave trade trade which culminated into the relationships and co-existence that exists today among blacks and whites all over the world.

Even though the scriptures vivdly gave expositions about how we should relate as humans on earth, the buttom line is that efforts must be made at all times to reach out to the less privileged in society and the responsibilities of the state, in most cases are not sufficient to improve the lives of vulnerable groups in the modern state phenomonon. Besides, since people are always migrating for varied reasons and settling in other societies, yet remain committed and sensitive  to the needs of their families and loved ones in their countries of origin, the role of the Diaspora has become very inportant and now considered an effective tool for social and economic development of many countries including Sierra Leone.
Several studies have examined the role of organised diasporas in rebuilding their communities and home territories and at the same time offering community services in their destination countries.

Furthermore, John F. Kennedy's famous inaugural speech: " Ask not what your Country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your Country." seems to have a broad appeal to the Khadarlis For Sierra Leone Team with its cross-fertilization of volunteers from all walks of life in the United States, backed by our philanthropists around the globe all mobilizing skills and resources to impact the lives of our beneficiaries is one of the mysteries of the nonprofit world.

We are still using this medium to appeal to the hearts and souls of our readers and supporters to continue devoting their health and their wealth to the service of vulnerable groups in the thick forests of Jimmi  Bagbo and beyond. We all know that things are difficult these days, but at the same time, " It is not because things are difficult that we dare not venture; it is because we dare not venture that things are difficult..." I submit!
