Remembering the Day of the African Child



As we approach June 16 celebrating the Day of The African child and marking the 1976 school children massacre in South Africa with the 2014 theme “A child friendly, quality, free and compulsory education for all children in Africa" and as we remember the over 200 school girls abducted in Nigeria, Humans of Sierra Leone visited an Islamic primary school in Sierra Leone wherein the kids are also benefiting from Western education.
The children gather for the morning assembly

These beautiful photographs of the children in the school should remind Africa and the world of the importance and beauty of education. Most of us have walked through this path and we are what we are today because of education. 


The children listen to their head teacher as a teacher looks on

Attentively, they watched through the camera


Humans of Sierra Leone would have been a lost dream without education. So we want to congratulate all the African children on this year's Day of The African Child and also to thank the teachers and people in the education sector for bringing light to the lives of especially young children.



Assembly time, the smart beautiful children listen attentively
