Boa everyone I have traced my African ancestry to Sierra Leone and the Mende Tribe. I visited Sierra Leone last year in December and it was a wonderful experience. I stayed for three weeks and visited Lumbley beach, beach No 2 and many other places. I got a chance to briefly meet the
president and some members of his cabinet. I was saddened by the poverty that I witnessed especially with the children. When I came home I vowed to not only return to Sierra Leone to do business but started a campaign in my t-shirt shop http://www.kindredgear.com to sell a million t-shirts to help bring fresh water to villages in Sierra Leone. I hope others will join me as I don't plan on stopping with just water. I will get involved with other projects as well to help rebuild my ancestral home. I hope you will support my cause.

Did you visited the South? That's the homeland for the mende tribe. Good luck on this project.

Good luck! And thanks for helping our dear Salone...we need all the help we can get.

The Mendes have contributed a lot to Sierra Leonean history; for example it was Sir Milton Margai who led Sierra Leone to independence. His brother succeeded him as s president. You have a lot to proud of and a rich heritage. You should indeed visit the south.
