Community in North Texas
|

Sierra Leoneans Contribute to academic institutions and to medical and corporate structures across North Texas. Many work in civil service thus contributing to the civic development of our cities. We value interaction with other communities because adds to our culture when we learn from other ethnic minorities. We are collaboraters who cultivate better ethnic understanding among our diverse communities, this helping to alleviate the levels of intolerance and indifference. |
