- A new health link
As a natural progression of its friendship link with Bo, One World Link is now looking to establish a health link. Continuing in the spirit of support and friendship, Helena White was asked to investigate the possibility of this idea in her recent visit.
One World Link AGM, February 2017
2016 was a busy and very satisfactory year. At the AGM we heard how activities bloomed at both the Bo and UK ends of the link as Sierra Leone emerged from the Ebola crisis. We welcomed teachers, committee members and the Chair of the district council from Bo and a return visit by teachers to Bo will take place in February.
Day of the African Child 2016
In June 2016 St Anthony’s Primary School in Leamington Spa was host to 500 children from 15 local schools celebrating the International Day of the African Child. Each school has a link with a school in Bo (Sierra Leone) through One World Link (OWL) which has been promoting friendship and mutual learning between Bo and Warwick District for over 35 years.

Schools in Bo took to the streets with a brass band and banners. The carried placards saying “Parents to send your children to school”, “Lets act now to keep girls in school” and “Say No to child labour”.
