ACFC celebration...

The ACFC has already been up and running for over a year. However, we only celebrated the official opening last week on May 23rd. So, I'd almost say it was our 1 year celebration! We also opened the Hostel of Hope- which various Rotary teams from the UK have helped build over the past year.

A number of international guests joined us for the event; including Don and Deyon Stephens (co-founders of Mercy Ships), Ann Gloag from Scotland, Nigerian actress Stephanie Okereke and a number of guests from various Mercy Ships offices. His excellency the President of Sierra Leone, the Vice President, and other members of the Ministry were also present.

It was a good day, with many (short) speeches, cutting of the ribbons, etc.
