Leone Stars Leslie Allen Champions Community Cleaning
Former Sierra Leone footballer, Leslie Allen emerges as a local champion of community cleaning, joining Operation Clean Freetown to clean up Fourah Bay and it's environs.
Allen mobilized scores of youths to join the on-going Operation Clean Freetown campaign within the densely populated communities of Fourah Bay, Guard Street and Mabela in the East end of Freetown (Wards 369 and 371).
Past Thursday, Leslie Allen was at Dan Street Market where he joined the President's Delivery Team and Masada to clean the entire market and other public places within Kennedy Street and Savage Square.
In the opinion of many, Leone Stars best winger was spotted again this morning at Guard Street and Mabela pitching in to clean up, complementing government efforts for a clean and healthy Freetown.
"I am so inspired by this government initiative engaging and involving people in their communities.
Our capital city must remain clean if we are to fight off diseases that claim the lives of too many of our children"
Mr Allen called on all Sierra Leoneans to support operation Clean Freetown as he put it:
"this is just the best thing to every happen to Freetown in decades....we all have a responsibility and a part to play to make our society a better place"
The former Leone Stars man also donated over 60 bags of rice to Muslims in his community. He described the gesture as his own contribution towards less fortunate compatriots in this holy month of Ramadan.
