Healing Sierra Leone's Wounds through Faith and Caritas

Sierra Leone, a small west African country, has made significant strides in rebuilding after a brutal civil war from 1991 to 2002.

The Catholic Church has played a major role in the country's development. A new book, "Sent to Heal a Wounded Nation: The Story of Father Peter Konteh," tells the story of Father Konteh, a Catholic priest who was ordained during the civil war and faced death several times on the front lines.

According to Agnes Aineah, the book's author, Father Konteh's powerful testimony highlights the Church's efforts in healing the nation's wounds. Sierra Leone is known for its rich cultural heritage, diverse landscapes, and complex history.

Despite enduring a brutal civil war, Sierra Leone has made strides in rebuilding and development.
