Does anyone have tips for how to research your family tree? I've spoken to my grandparents and they were able to tell me the names of their parents and grandparents but I don't know how to go further back then that. My ancestry is Krio, Shebro, and Mende but supposedly some of our ancestors were liberated people from Barbados. I would like to trace my ancestry back as far as possible.

Hi there just wondering if anyone knows of any Sierra Leone restaurants in USA or Canada. Thanks.

I'd like to hear about it from a local perspective. I heard that your country declared a state of emergency due to a drug called kush (which is made from human bones).

Hi. My father is from Sierra Leone,my mother lives in Europe and so do I. My father came here as an immigrant, but he disappeared when I was young. I have his address, name and birth and place of birth. I really want to find my family there, I would love to get to know the culture and connect with them. Where should I start? I would love to hear any ideas.

Is a 2,000 USD salary sufficient to live in Freetown? Accommodation is provided by the company.

I'm a white Spanish guy. I would like to visit Sierra Leone for a couple of weeks. How safe is the country for solo European travelers? Is it dangerous to rent a car and travel alone? Thanks!

Hello, traveling from US to Freetown. I’m non-Sierra Leonean. Want to know if anyone has purchased a SIM/Data plan in US before traveling to SL or should I wait until I get there and buy one with the locals?

If you bought one within US, which provider do you recommend? Thank you!

Hey everyone!

My sister is a doctor working in SL and is currently in Freetown. She has an interview tomorrow and they are requesting to use a specific online platform that requires a certain wifi quality test to join. She needs a private room, so the internet cafes are out unfortunately, and she's looked at many Freetown hotels and they don't pass the wifi speed test. I was wondering if anyone knows of anywhere/any particular hotels that have good wifi in Freetown?

If anyone could help, I'd be really grateful!

Thanks so much.

I am the creator of a fictional worldbuilding project in which Temne is featured. Would you be able to help me translate this phrase, "We come in peace" for a poster graphic that I'm trying to make?

Hello all. I am traveling to Freetown from US. I am not African. Going to visit as tourist for two weeks max. I am curious to know what do I need to show at the airport? Any vaccines that are required? Can I pay visa on arrival? Any tips on luggage weight? Anything they can deny entry for? Other tips?

Please and thanks.

Hello everyone. So I started a e-commerce platform called Tanglo (Tanglo-sl.com). A place where people can buy and sell in Sierra Leone. There has noticeably been an increase in online shopping in Sierra Leone recently, but there is still an issue of where to find what, so I thought I can help towards that by creating a centralised online marketplace. How Tanglo works. You as a seller create an account. You post what you are selling or the service you are offering. A customer sees it and is interested. They contact you and you go from there. If anyone has any questions. Please always feel free to message me or leave a comment and I would answer 😊

Hello everyone,

I’m Souad, a master’s student, currently working on a research project that delves into the educational programs provided to former child soldiers in Sierra Leone, with a keen focus on conducting a gender analysis of these initiatives.

My study aims to understand the differential impacts of education on male and female ex-child soldiers, identifying unique challenges and opportunities to inform more effective and inclusive strategies for their reintegration into society post-conflict.

I’m reaching out to this community in hopes of connecting with individuals who have personal experiences, professional insights, or academic knowledge related to the education of ex-child soldiers in Sierra Leone. Whether you are a former child soldier, an educator, a policy maker, an NGO worker, or someone with stories or data to share, your perspective could be invaluable to my research.

If you’re interested in sharing your experiences or know someone who might be, please feel free to comment below or send me a direct message. I’m looking for participants willing to be interviewed, but I also welcome any resources, literature, or contacts that you think might aid my research.

Thank you for considering this request.
