Statement on Alie Kabba
Statement of UAO Board President on Dr. Alie Kabba:
It is with dismay that we learn of United African Organization (UAO) Executive Director, Dr. Alie Kabba’s arrest and detention by the Sierra Leone government for the third time in under 30 days.
Dr. Kabba, on a visit to Sierra Leone, was arrested a day after he gave an interview to the local Radio Democracy 98.1 FM station, during which he criticized the ruling government for corruption and nepotism.Surprise!
The phone rang…..
It was the security man downstairs saying there was a delivery.
It was this delightful tray of fresh baked pastries and bite-size cookies from www.bakeforme.com .
who is our secret admirer?
Thank you for making our day!
Faith’s Internship Experience
Walking into UAO that first day and meeting everybody, I knew this internship was going to make this summer my best so far.

I learned a lot of things ranging from data entry down to U.S. immigration law and it was wonderful. Read more →
