Independent, UK 
It is a real-life slum in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, and the focus of Save the Children’s latest ploy to communicate the work they do to potential donors. You can learn about Kroo Bay by watching one of the “webisodes”, post messages for the residents on their profile pages and watch the renovation of the clinic as you donate money. “It was intended to give a rounder view of life in Kroo Bay,” explains Save the Children’s Rachel Palmer, who came up with the concept. “It shows people getting on with life despite their problems.

Clinton’s note read, “Is this true?” Tragically, the next eight years seemed to confirm the doomsday scenario, as Sierra Leone descended further into a civil war whose brutality was legendary, with the massive use of alienated youth as child soldiers, pillaging of the country’s diamond and timber resources by regional warlords, including Liberia’s Charles Taylor, and spill-over of refugees and instability throughout West Africa. But the prediction was, in the longer run, incomplete. Phoenix- like, a new nation is emerging since the signature of a peace agreement in 2002.
