You celebrated with us in a way that is unlike any other. We invited you to the Thanksgiving Service and Independence Celebration of Sierra Leone @63. This was not only an event. It was a meeting of thankfulness, joy, and unity. We wanted you to be a part of this historic occasion as we celebrated the 63 wonderful years of our dear country, Sierra Leone. It was celebrated on April 27, 2024, at 11 am, at Grace of God Ministries International's Church Auditorium in Bladensburg, MD. Our esteemed guests, Edward Kamara, Vicky Fornah Hassan, were excited as we welcomed them with open arms.

This was more than just an occasion, and it brought joy to your hearts. Every song sung there stayed in the heart, and every smile and handshake conveyed a story of unity. This ceremony was complete with your presence, so we thank you for joining us, and I am sure you were blessed.

Sierra Leone is located in West Africa and is known for its fantastic coastline. Freetown, the central city, is renowned for its beaches and bustling marketplaces. Lumley Beach is one of the most popular beaches where visitors can swim and relax in nature. The food is fantastic in Sierra Leone. Visitors can try a special rice called Jollof, which has vegetables and tomatoes. Rice is served with spicy sauces and peanuts, and groundnut stew is given. The culture of Sierra Leone reflects the legacy of song and dance. The people are very friendly towards the tourists and like sharing their traditions. Travelers can visit several places. Tiwai Island is an excellent location for someone who wants to view animals, and Bunce Island is an old island that reflects the slave trade.
