Listen to the Children: A Journey of Sharing

In February 2008, 10-year-old Logan McGillivray now 11 was moved and desired to do something after seeing pictures of children in Sierra Leone that had been affected by the 11 years of war.  In May 2008, with the guidance of cdpeace, he worked with many volunteers to send a 40-foot shipping container filled with building and school supplies.  Logan depicts this journey in a short documentary/music video and he is now raising funds to build a multi-purpose Center for children at the cdpeace head quarter in Mayagba , Sierra Leone .  Read more

 

The centre will be called Listen to the Children Multi-purpose Centre.
