Crowded with Life

In Sierra Leone, New Hope for Children and Pregnant Women


Wooden benches, once empty,
Now crowded with women
Pregnant, wrapped in cobalt and vermillion sarongs
Faces no longer creased with worry
Bright teeth smiling against skin of midnight
Hospital fees abolished
Now wooden benches
Crowd with life
