Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary

Today I went with some friends to the Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary, about an hour inland from Freetown. They rescue traumatized and sick chimps, nourish them, and re-acclimate them to other chimps as well as the wild. It was wonderful to spend the day in the fresh air rather than the industrialized port, and it's nice to know that even the local people are interested in advocating for the powerless.

Sorry for the scenery pictures - they were taken from the back of a moving, bumpy Land Rover!
