Fifty-eight year old Mary Musa is the first woman Chair of New Sembehun Town Council in Koidu, in the heart of Sierra Leone's conflict-riddled diamond industry in Kono district. Brought up in a poor farming family where boys, not girls, were educated, Mary's mother encouraged her to finish her schooling and win a college scholarship and a higher teacher's certificate.
After reading about how the socioeconomic situation in Sierra Leone is gradually getting worse, it's good to see a video about this counsellor striving to make things better. May she and her colleagues be successful.
