Dear Jossef,

Fantastic work! Thanks for your blog. Please can you share more about school competence. Constance from Cameroon has applied strength based approach in her school.

Warmly,

Rituu

Congratulations to Sierra Leone Competence for a great start and progress :-)

Plan International has been also very active in Sierra Leone, so perhaps Ibrahim will want to add something?

Jossef, did you participate in facilitating local responses in Sierra Leone? What did you personally learn through this process?

Thank you!
