Helping Out in Sierra Leone

The Prince George Hotel collected and presented 19 school bags stuffed with supplies which are going to be shipped to those in need in Sierra Leone.

At the hotel's most recent Communication Session - a general assembly of all employees - there was a moving and emotional report from Adama Kargbo, daughter of Doris Tarawaly. Adama visited her homeland of Sierra Leone last year and realized how few possessions the children of her home country owned, so she initiated a program of collecting school bags in order to provide the children with some items that we all take for granted. Our teams in the Hotel collected and presented 19 school bags stuffed with supplies which are going to be shipped to those in need. Our gift seemed to overwhelm Adama who responded with a speech of gratitude that bought tears to the eyes of everyone present, and made us realize how lucky we are to have those things we do take for granted. "It was a humbling experience to listen to Adama," said General Manager, Nicholas Carson, "and reminded me how proud I am of the wonderful people in this Hotel who, so unselfishly, gave willingly to such a good cause."
