Healing Sierra Leone's Wounds through Faith and Caritas
Sierra Leone, a small west African country, has made significant progress in rebuilding after a brutal civil war from 1991 to 2002.
The Catholic Church has played a major role in the country's development. A new book, "Sent to Heal a Wounded Nation: The Story of Father Peter Konteh," tells the story of Father Konteh, a Catholic priest who was ordained during the civil war and faced death several times on the front lines.
According to Agnes Aineah, the book's author, Father Konteh's testimony is a powerful one.
His story is a testament to the power of faith and healing in a wounded nation.
