During that period His Excellency will be engaged in a series of speaking engagements and will also be holding meetings with the Sierra Leone Diaspora community as it has always been the practice of the Sierra Leone Embassy in Washington, DC to involve the Sierra Leone community in the Washington metropolitan area.

Meanwhile, prior to the September 18 th meeting, heads of organizations are advised to meet with their members, sensitize and encourage them to attend this all important Town Hall meeting. Yours sincerely,
