Call
For Participation
We
are calling on all Sierra Leoneans with first-hand experiences of the
1991-2002 civil war to participate by offering oral testimonies for the benefit
of current and future generations. This project is intended to encourage those affected
by the civil war to tell their stories as ordinary people who have
survived some of the most horrendous moments of our shared history.
Others
have already written several versions of our story, but our aim is to let
your children learn from you. No Sierra Leonean would like to see a
reoccurrence of what happened during that dreadful decade. It is only by
reflecting on where we went wrong that we can guide future generations from
wandering our line of failure.
Please contact us if
you would like to participate. The Memory Project staff will visit you to
record your testimony. All stories are video recorded and will be
available for public view. We also accept written testimonies from those who do
not want to be audio/video recorded.
