Review for VILLAGE LINK, Woodside, CA, USA
I was with the founder when this all started after she visited Sierra Leone after 20-odd years or so. RoseAnne Rotandaro was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Sierra Leone at a very young age. Even though she was disconnected for a long time going back in 2011 she was stung by the bug. The Sierra Leonean bug, that is. And here we are ...
At a very early stage, we showed support for her work and even introduced her organization to a Sierra Leonean fella who helped her set up the first solar panel ran center in the district with computers and all. Village Links, this year, hosted over 100 students who used our online platform (https://waoedup.org/) to study for their national and regional exams. Without that center and especially in the light of a global pandemic with less or no schooling, one can only wonder what could have happened to those students in a remote village in Sierra Leone. This is a clear indication or illustration of the UN sustainable development goals that collectively speak to "leave no one behind." Yes, we can make a difference in the world; one village at a time.
We support the work of Village Links in Sierra Leone. Our country of origin.
Regards.
