Photo exhibition

In April 2009 a photo exhibition on Sierra Leone was opened in the Bronovo Hospital in the Hague.

Sixteen pictures showing a different part of the world and a different view on Sierra Leone.

During the civil war in Sierra Leone we were confronted with a lot of terrible pictures of war, they are still in the back of our heads.

Since there is peace now, Sierra Leone is not a big news item anymore and we tend to forget about this small West-African country.

What we do not see is the strength and beauty of the Sierra Leonean people building on a better future for their country.

Besides the setting of a rural hospital in the jungle of Sierra Leone with all their shortages and struggles. The pictures also show the power and joy of life that these people emit. After the difficult period they went through it is admirable and inspiring to see their positive spirits.

The money raised through this exhibition will all be donated to the hospital charity fund. A fund that pays the medical care for the very poor.

Visitor enjoining the exhibition

The exhibition can be visited in the central hall of the Bronovo Hospital until the ending of june.
