Sierra Leone team has arrived! Today was their second day at the school. Everyone was very excited to meet and they’ve gotten a lot done. So far, the team has replaced the UV filter battery, primary school inverter, and began teaching the teachers how to use the laptops. Everything’s going well without a hitch!
