According to the Members, the love for their country and people burns deep within them and that they won’t rest until the virus is kicked out.

Receiving the donation, Ambassador Daramy thanked them on behalf of President Ernest Bai Koroma , the government and people of Sierra Leone. The money he said is not to be measured by its amount but rather the gesture and love it portrays.

“Your little amount can save lives and contribute positively to the eradication of the virus and your gesture would go down in our country’s history as an Organization that did help to saved many. He noted

He informed that all monies collected are being paid into the –HEALTH EMERGENCY RESPONSE BANK ACCOUNT and promised that the money will be used for its intended purpose.

Also present were the Deputy Ambassador Haja Saidata Sesay , who is the Head of RESCUE SALONE INITIATIVE , Head of Chancery Andrew Kamara  and staff of the Embassy.
