The most popular game in Sierra Leone besides soccer is definitely this game. If you think about it, children do not really have toys here. They are pretty inventive though. I see young children playing this game everywhere, whether I am in the city or up country. The children use some round object, usually a tire, but sometimes a piece of metal, and they use their hand or a stick to hit the tire and keep it rolling upright. The children run along with it as it rolls faster and faster. The object of the game is to keep the tire upright and not let it fall over. I have seen kids running so fast with tires that they plow over whoever is in their way just to keep the tire up!

You guys are awesome. I look around at the situation that most people are in here in the Bahamas, and they have it so much easier/better than it seems like Sierra Leoneans do. Thanks for sharing about what life for the people there is like. It is helping open my eyes to the world! I love you guys!
