SUPPORTERS
While the foundation relies on volunteers we also need the support of businesses to keep going.

Further, they have offered to sponser the printing and distribution of certificates of appreciation to our volunteer/donators.

She has also indicated on-going support in organising future contact with the media especially when we are ready to take our concept nationally.
UNICEF
Mr Norman Gillespie (CEO) has been most enthusiastic and supportive of our project from the very beginning when the concept was first being evolved. He was able to source the Sierra Leone Unicef project in a most timely fashion so that we could have an excellent recipient to mesh with our philosophy and concept of virtual volunteering.
