In this episode we head back in time to Sierra Leone to share some of the joys and complexities of working with local practitioners helping themselves and their communities travel the path from 12 years of civil conflict to peace and reconciliation. That path is at times as curved and sometimes seemingly impassable as the roads we travelled to reach villages and communities.
In this narrative I discuss children associated with armed forces and groups. While I do not go into detail about atrocities, I do mention specifically that these children were forced to commit atrocities, and some listeners may find this difficult to hear. The overall theme however, is resilience, as always.
The same themes emerge in this narrative as those in previous episodes. There are local practitioners impacted by the same issues affecting their communities, and working through their own traumas while serving vulnerable communities. We have the added complexity here of these national practitioners having been directly impacted by the actions of the very children and youth they would care for.
My practice grew exponentially here, as did the practice of those wi was fortunate enough to work with. And I carry with me to this day the inspired actions of these exceptional practitioners leading their own communities in internally guided social change.
Let us know how you're experiencing these narratives!
