National Men’s First Division Playoffs Zone A Updates

By: Tejan Frederickson Fatorma ,  Northeast Region Football Association (NERFA) Media and Marketing Rutile Rangers hopes of registering a three points in their opening match against Great Scarcies FC was dented following a 1-1 draw at the Makeni Wusum stadium in the ongoing National First-Division Playoffs.  Much of the first half passed by without anything meaningful to note, both sides feeling the other out in what was a cagey opening first half.  Both sides showed real reluctance to actually mount any kind of sustained pressure and the first half ended with neither really laying a glove on the other. The second half was quite dramatic as the Southern region based club, Rutile Rangers took the lead in the 65th minutes courtesy of Pious Bornor who sliced in a low-cross that went at the back of the net. The Bonthonians anticipation of carrying the day was neutralized after the Western Area central referee awarded a penalty to Great Scarcies FC for a clumsy tackle in the 8...

Curbing the Challenges of Health Services for the Aged: How a Single Story is Changing the Narratives?

By: Sulaiman Stom Korma In 2016 a tragic incident that has now turned out to be a solution for the aged happened.  Mohamed S. Bah witnessed a scene where a pregnant woman was carried on an ordinary blanket from the Gravel Boom Community, which is one of the deprived communities within Freetown, to a hospital that was miles away from their community.  The community is deprived, isolate, and not motorable making it difficult to access the community whenever something tragic happens, it takes the grace of God to salvage it, especially with pregnant women.  On this day, while some of the community members were carrying a pregnant woman to the hospital, one of them carrying her tripped and the woman fell, miscarried, and died.
