Harvest may be over in the UK but in Sierra Leone rice harvest is in full swing. Rice is such a staple there is a saying 'if you haven't eaten rice today then you haven't eaten!' This beautiful field of rice is being harvested, bagged & transported before feeding many families. – at Sierra Leone

The fruit in Madeira is absolutely amazing. I've had fruit there I've never even seen before. I love going to the fruit market to try new things 🍊 🍌 🍍 #madeira #holiday #yummy #exoticfruit #fruit #outandabout

Rest in Peace my friend πŸ’•
It's with great sadness we say a fond farewell to Rita who passed away recently. Rita sponsored one of our students and was a great supporter of Transform Salone. Rita had huge compassion and was wonderful with children. Rita is remembered fondly by all at Transform Salone ❀️
