- Through Valeri
- Please describe your company and it's products and services.
- The organization aims to help give women in Sierra Leone a voice and the opportunity to reach their fullest potentials. Many women are talented or gifted in education, sports, music and art, science and have also demonstrated a great passion for saving the environment, defending human rights as well as advocating for their freedom of expression. More often than not their voices are hardly recognized. Their leadership ability is often downplayed. Women are not given the opportunities to take leadership roles and make a difference.
What the PWI does is to leverage the potentials of young women who are marginalized from taking their place in society as leaders to gain the empowerment and use their skills that will benefit society as a whole.
The organization is dedicated to building the capabilities, connections, and credibility of women leaders in Sierra Leone and around the world, opened the opportunities at women’s training, leadership development, and women’s

Thanks Memunatu, am inspired by your poem. Those are words of a "great poet" - thanks for such inspirational peom.
I am going to post one too. This about my experience when I fist came to America-- I did not know how to get on the "esclator" - this is for laughs.
The esclator
Something that flows
Like the quiet country - rivers
Without waives, but orderly moves
They pointed for me to step on to it
Then of course I did just that
I managed to go down a bit
But the stair seem to fight me
I’d rather be standing on my knee
That would be weird I thought
While I was worried and lost
People seem to be impatient
I turned around and sat
But it threw me back out
Why am I lost and fearful
Standing here like a fool
Every one else seem to know
They are not falling down below
My first encounter
With the moving stair, the escalator
Was just simply nightmare
Too embarrassing to share
I may have said, I could have sworn
I was prepared for the unknown
Right at the start, coming to the west
Of that long journey
The escalator was not funny
Thanks for the invite. I just love your mission statement -- You got it! hope to meet you someday.
