Nicky Wilkinson from Elim International Missions joined the fulltime team in Bo for an initial period of 6 months. Nicky's home church is Dewsbury Elim near Leeds in England. For the last 2 years she has been working in Freetown attached to a church there.
 
We are delighted to have Nicky with us and believe she will make a lasting contribution as she supports the existing staff under our Head of Ministry Development, Cynthia Kanu.
Nicky will be primarily working in our schools training and resourcing the teachers with new techniques and methods. She will also be working with vulnerable women through our Vocational Training Programme and asisting Cynthia with the development of an outreach programme to street girls. A secondary role will be assisting with training for our workers in the House of Hope and assessing the kids emotional state and spiritual need.
