Lunch time at JPOH
Author: juniorsplaceofhope
Junior's Place of Hope is a safe place for individuals with autism and other special needs in Sierra Leone, West Africa. At Junior's Place of Hope, we accept, support, and love these individuals and help them build the confidence they need to reach their full potential. Children with autism and special needs are seen roaming the streets, being subjected to physical and verbal abuse. We have created an environment that provides them with two meals a day, an education, recreational programs, and family support.
Art by special needs students.
Speech and language pathologists and special education teachers from the United States provided training for the staff and assessment for the teachers in July of 2026. They also worked with the students to demonstrate some of the skills taught.
Students were given rice donated by Tzu Chi foundation to take home
We gave students rice as they were leaving for Easter break to prevent them from roaming the streets in search of food.
Speech and language pathologists and special education teachers visited JPOH to do assessments of the students, trainingvof the teachers and learning from our teachers.

International Women’s Day
Today we honor all the women! There are so many women, around the world, who are trying to take care of their families, with little or no support. They are mothers, sisters, grandmothers, and daughters. You are all my heroes. I hope, on this special day, you are treated with kindness, and receive support from your community and strangers.
