As the Ebola Scourge is easing a bit, organizations operating in Liberia are begging to lend support and share experiences with their next door neighbor, Sierra Leone.
With the gains been made in Liberia, Young Life is bent on replicating that gains in Sierra Leone who is currently fighting to reduce its increasing case load.

Young Life is a faith base organization working with young people in World, who is one of the many organizations on the frontline in the fight against Ebola in Liberia and Sierra Leone.
The Regional Director of Young Life James S. Davis II in an effort to turn Sierra Leone story around visited the country to support and share experience with Young Life Sierra Leone, that is playing a leading role in the Ebola fight in that country.
Davis during his visit work closely with Young Life Sierra Leone in adopting new approaches and increase support for programs already existing that are making gains.
Davis said, the Young Life staffers were excited about his visit.” They were excited to see a friend visiting them when people are leaving their country.”
Davis said, his trip was about building confidence, experience sharing and empowering local leaders in Sierra Leone.
“You will agree with me, in recent days the case in Sierra Leone is on the increase, now that we are having less cases it is important that we shared our experience,” Davis said.
Davis continues: “if the cases in Sierra Leone are on the increase and nothing is done about it there is possibility that cases can come from Sierra Leone to Liberia.”
Davis said, with the structure in place by the government and support from the locals, could see Sierra Leone making gains in the not too distance future.
The Regional Director of Young Life said, from information gathered the case load in Sierra Leone of recent is decreasing.
“Sierra Leone use to report hundred new cases a day; they were reporting thirty new cases a day before I left. I think they are making progress,” Davis said.
Davis said, though the country is reporting high cases as compare to other country in the Ebola fight, adding that there are measures put in place by the Sierra Leoneans that need to be duplicated.
Davis named population and cultural beliefs as some of the reasons for the increase in cases adding that the country is taking tough measures to get the outbreak under control.
“Sierra Leone has more people than us, traditional beliefs are strong there and denial is some of the reasons responsible for high number they continue to report,” Davis said.
Davis thanked the government of Liberia, partners, community leaders and health workers for their tireless effort in putting the virus under control.
Davis said, opening of schools is a major boost in fight against Ebola by the government of Liberia adding that something its neighbors are a bit far from accomplishing.
Davis warned, Liberians and the government not to be complacent with gains made adding that all of the measure put in place by the Ministry of Health should be followed.
Like in Liberia Davis said his organization is planning to hold a survivor camp in Sierra Leone.”We think it [camp] is a vehicle for reintegration.”
Davis said that his organization was affected by the virus both in Liberia and Sierra Leone adding that some of his members fell prey to the virus.
Davis narrating a member of Young Life Sierra Leone Daniel19yrs ordeal said, was abandon by family members after been discharge from the Ebola Unit.
Davis said Daniel family and friends were not willing to let him in their home for fear of contracting the virus.
Davis added that his organization is currently taking care of Daniel.” Our Young Life leaders are taking care of him.”
