One-off Actions: Council Tax invasion
http://generocityact.blogspot.com/2006/06/council-tax-invasion.html
Make a difference in less than 2 minutes. Wednesday, June 21, 2006. Guns acquired illegally spread terror, contribute to poverty and halt development. Over the next 3 months we have a unique chance to stem the tide. But the single factor which underpinned all others was the continuous supply of guns to Liberia and Sierra Leone. These nations do not manufacture weapons. The outside world, including Britain, had to to supply them and it did so in abundance. Zainab Kamara, counsellor, Sierra Leone. The Inte...

HIV/AIDs: October 2006
http://generocityhiv.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Stories from sierra leone's forgotten. Monday, October 30, 2006. I went to court last week with about ten other people in solidarity with a woman named Rashidatu. Rashidatu is a member of SWAASL’s network for positive women. Three weeks ago her landlord beat her unconscious. He claims it was because she hadn’t paid her rent. Others suspect it had more to do with her HIV status. It’s not as crazy as it sounds. Rashidatu’s landlord did not turn up. So the case was adjourned with the promise that he wou...

News, opportunity and politics from the ground. Tuesday, March 06, 2007. A different story: life and death in Sierra Leone. In January I went to the funeral of the father of my close friend and colleague Flora. The next day I wrote a piece that was swallowed up by one of Freetown’s frequent power cuts.

Sierra Leone: Sierra Leone: a potted history of ourselves
http://generocitysierra.blogspot.com/2006/06/sierra-leone-potted-history-of.html
News, opportunity and politics from the ground. Tuesday, June 13, 2006. Sierra Leone: a potted history of ourselves. By the 18th century more slaves were being shipped to British colonies than anywhere else in the world, and British ships dominated the business globally. But at the same time a bizarre act of denial was taking place. When the American Civil War ended, thousands of black slaves who had fought for Britain made their way to British soil, destitute and begging. Posted by generocity at 10:05 AM.

Stories from sierra leone's forgotten. Thursday, May 25, 2006. The definitions of HIV/AIDs.

Poorer people get HIV and become poorer. Dealing with poverty will help us deal with HIV/AIDS and dealing with HIV/AIDS will also help us to deal with the problem of poverty.
