In Sierra Leone, beating the drum against Ebola

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone, 30 July 2015 – The rhythmic sound of tam-tams fills the corridors at the UNICEF-supported Observational Interim Care Centre (OICC) in the Portee neighbourhood of Freetown, Sierra Leone, where children who may have been exposed to Ebola are kept in quarantine as a precaution. It is meal time, and Braima Bockarie, one of six resident caregivers, plays the drums to calm the children who have been separated from their families.
