SIERRA LEONE The Republic of Sierra Leone is a country in West Africa. It is bordered by Guinea in the northeast, Liberia in the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean in the southwest. Early inhabitants of Sierra Leone included the Sherbo, Temne and Limba, and Tyra peoples, and later the Mende. The drawings below were made by students in Sierra Leone. Each picture represents the student’s notion of peace. We hope you enjoy the drawings. (Click here to view larger images)
