One year ago, Ebola began its rampage across West Africa, killing
thousands in countries like Sierra Leone and Liberia. By last summer,
these nations had declared a state of emergency. Schools were bolted shut
and severe restrictions shackled businesses and public gatherings -- all
to stop the spread of the disease.
.
"When I got back to Liberia in August, it was like a ghost town, riddled
with fear. It felt like people were waiting for a bomb to go off," recalls
American Katie Meyler, who was part of our team then went on to start her
own organization in Liberia, More Than Me. Meyler was among those named
Person of the Year by Time Magazine for her work in the fight against
Ebola.
.
After a year of horror, the disease is finally under control. Restrictions
are slowly being lifted. Life should be returning to normal. But will life
in West Africa ever be "normal" again?
.
Our Sierra Leone team, and development colleagues like Meyler in Liberia
and Alfred Kamara of World Vision in Sierra Leone, have shared their
observations with us. It's evident the shattering impact of Ebola on
everything from education to the economy will linger long after the last
patient is treated.
.
Kamara notes that Sierra Leone was already struggling to find enough
teachers before the Ebola epidemic. The number who died from the disease
has made the problem much worse.
.
Students in Sierra Leone and Liberia lost eight months of their school
year. They must take painful but necessary measures to get students caught
up.
.
Sierra Leone is cutting its curriculum to the bone, teaching only core
material that students need to have at each grade level, such as reading
skills and math. Meyler tells us the government in Liberia has extended
the school year into the summer months to make up lost time. It means
children won't be able to help out with small family businesses and farms
-- crucial contributions that their parents count on to make ends meet.
