Gift of Limbs

FoSL recently sponsored a project called Gift of limbs (GOL) [FoSL official website (GOL Page) [http://www.fosalone.org/GoLBackgroundPaper.html] ] . It found eight amputees,mostly children, and fitted them with prosthetic limbs. The orphaned/abandoned children were also found homes for.

This project was completed.

Distance Education [FoSL official website (2005 Newsletter) [http://www.fosalone.org/newsLet/NewsletterFl05.pdf] ]

FoSl bought a generator to power a youth radio station. This would provide some education for many the Sierra Leonian children who get little or no education.

This project has been completed.
