Primary tabs

Two years after the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, Kamanda Kamara, committee member youth advisers Plan International Sierra Leone, published on his blog about the participation of people in the battle to contain the virus and how their work has contributed to change in communities. "It is important to continue working and investing funds in structural reforms to strengthen health systems," said Concha Lopez, CEO of Plan International Spain.

 

During the outbreak of ebola I saw many people infected and even die in my community. I thought it was, somehow, help save my community and end this terrible disease.

It was a committee member of Plan International youth advisors in my area and I joined the program of the communities affected by the ebola. We were formed to protect us from infection. Later, I worked with other young people to give voice to children and members of the most vulnerable communities. We share views with the public authorities and the media.
