Olney facing a crisis
Appreciation of Ebola Help
south of the Three Counties Garage/Roundabout nearer Warrington to fill in for Olney’s loss? Given it is in East-West Rail’s August Study by Atkins with the Cambridge link; surely some remedial route plan and common design is prudent?
The only cavity between us for example could be (if and when the rail comes more into the EWRL fold) when development is more added on to existing developments than virgin soils to make one grand linear city spanning 77 miles by 25!
Simon Barber, Secretary Bedfordshire Railway & Transport Association
Olney - Newton link Committee
Iwrite on behalf of the above named committee and the Ebola affected victims of Newton who have received tremendous assistant from the Olney Newton Link committee in the UK.
The people of Newton wish to express their sincere gratitude and appreciation for
all that you have done for them over the past few months since the outbreak of the Ebola virus diseases. The Ebola victims of Newton have received buckets and sanitizer for hand washing, the provision of food to vulnerable quarantine homes, used clothing for children affected directly and indirectly from the virus and the financial help given to the Newton Health center. Ebola virus diseases have deprived many homes in the community. It has also left many children homeless, hopeless and deprived without parent or guardians that will take care of their welfare. Some of these children are under age, some are in the primary and secondary schools, while others are in tertiary learning Institutions. In fact as of writing, some of these victims barely survive to get food, while some go to bed hungry.
The most precarious situation right now is the level of stigmatization faced by their extended families, members of the community and children’s play mates in way of social exclusion, discrimination and marginalization. The situation lying ahead of Ebola victims is still challenging and needs robust action to find a remedy.
However, the link here in Sierra Leone will continue to facilitate and do all what it can to provide you with the necessary information for further humanitarian consideration. Once more on behalf of the people of NEWTON I want to thank you very much and to all those who have contributed in diverse ways and means in helping the people of Newton. May God richly bless you all.
I beg to remain, Yours faithfully, Abubakarr Fofanah, Secretary
