sad news details are sketchy at the moment but will update when I can the bus in Sierra Leone has been involved in a massive accident (not our drivers fault) - the driver is critical (not Armani) - fortunately nobody else was injured - but as we all know SL is as corrupt as hell and even though we have insurance as required - no insurance has ever been known to pay out there - so we are going to need to cover medical bills and try to get the bus back on the road - we are going to need people to dig deep if they can but every little helps - I and all the team a very very upset and feel deeply for the driver - but we have to be practical at the same time - so if you can please please help - there is a donate button here thanks in advance <a class="postlink" href="http://www.sierraleonemcfc.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.sierraleonemcfc.co.uk/</a>
 
Right - I can appreciate those that don't know the story of Armani Kamara in Sierra Leone may have found this somewhat dubious (e.g. some who stay down in The Cellar and newbies) but it's completely serious. His story has been the subject of a number of threads on here in the past and has been featured in the media. Ric himself was also involved in setting up a website highlighting the work being done over there. I can vouch for Nij/Phil but also many of you will know Alex Channon and Howard Burr and they are heavily involved in this as well.

Here are some links to threads and stories that will explain:

Reading the website the last post from July 2013 has Armani in prison. What happened? I assume he got off?

Good times. That's good to know!
 
A photo of the bus lifted from Phil's F/B page. Hope the driver pulls through.
