History about Big market in Sierra Leone

 

As we all know, Sierra Leone has a rich history and culture. One aspect of this history that has played a significant role in the lives of Sierra Leoneans is the Big Market. The Big Market, also known as the Queen's Market, is a bustling and vibrant hub of commerce and trade in the heart of Freetown.

For many Sierra Leoneans, the Big Market holds a special place in their hearts. It is not just a place to buy and sell goods, but it is a symbol of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The market has been a constant presence in the lives of Sierra Leoneans, even through the country's most challenging times.

The Big Market has a long and storied history. It was established in the 1800s during the British colonial era as a place for local traders to sell their goods. Over the years, it has grown and expanded, becoming a center for both local and international trade. Today, it is the largest market in Sierra Leone, with over 5,000 vendors selling a variety of goods, from fresh produce to handmade crafts.

What makes the Big Market so special is not just its size or the variety of goods it offers, but the people who make it come alive. The vendors, many of whom are women, are the backbone of the market. They work tirelessly to provide for their families and contribute to the country's economy. Their resilience and determination are truly admirable.

However, the Big Market has also faced its fair share of challenges. In 1991, Sierra Leone was plunged into a devastating civil war that lasted for over a decade. The market, like the rest of the country, was greatly affected. Many vendors lost their livelihoods, and the market was forced to shut down at times due to the violence.

But the Big Market stood strong even in the face of such adversity. After the war ended in 2002, the market was one of the first places to reopen, a symbol of hope and resilience for the country. Today, it continues to thrive, providing opportunities for both vendors and customers alike.

As we reflect on the history of the Big Market, let us remember the struggles and hardships that the people of Sierra Leone have faced. Let us also celebrate their resilience and determination, embodied in the bustling and vibrant hub that is the Big Market. It is a testament to the strength and spirit of the Sierra Leonean people, and we should all be proud of this symbol of our culture and heritage.

History about Bounce Island in Sierra Leone

 Bounce Island, also known as Bunce Island, is a small island located in the Sierra Leone River, about 20 miles from Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone. The island has a rich history that dates back to the 17th century and has played a significant role in the transatlantic slave trade.

The island was first inhabited by the Temne people, who were one of the largest ethnic groups in Sierra Leone. In the early 1600s, the island was used as a trading post by the Portuguese, who were the first Europeans to arrive in Sierra Leone. They used the island to trade goods such as ivory, gold, and slaves with the local Temne people.

In 1670, the island was leased to the British Royal African Company, who used it as a base for their slave trading operations. Bounce Island became one of the busiest slave trading centers in West Africa, with thousands of enslaved Africans passing through its shores every year.

The enslaved Africans were captured from various parts of the interior of Sierra Leone and neighboring countries, such as Guinea and Liberia. They were then brought to Bounce Island, where they were held in cramped and inhumane conditions before being shipped off to the Americas.

The island's location in the Sierra Leone River made it an ideal spot for slave trading as it provided easy access to the Atlantic Ocean. The British also built a fort on the island to protect their trading operations and to defend against attacks from other European powers.

In 1807, the British abolished the transatlantic slave trade, and Bounce Island was no longer used for this purpose. However, the island remained a British colony and was later used as a military base during the First and Second World Wars.

Today, Bounce Island is a popular tourist destination, with visitors coming to learn about its dark history and to see the ruins of the fort and other structures that were used during the slave trade. In 2003, the island was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognizing its significance in the transatlantic slave trade and its impact on the history of Sierra Leone.

In recent years, efforts have been made to preserve and restore the island's historical structures, with the goal of creating a museum and educational center to further educate visitors about the island's past.

In conclusion, Bounce Island's history is a painful reminder of the atrocities of the transatlantic slave trade. However, it also serves as a powerful symbol of resilience and the importance of remembering and learning from the past.

International Plastic Bag Free Day: A Call to Action

 Every year, on July 3rd, we observe International Plastic Bag Free Day. This day is a reminder of the harmful impact that plastic bags have on our environment and a call to action for individuals and businesses to reduce their use of plastic bags.

Plastic bags are one of the most common forms of litter and can take hundreds of years to decompose. They contribute to pollution in our oceans, harm wildlife, and clog our landfills. The production of plastic bags also contributes to the depletion of non-renewable resources and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.

But the good news is, we can all make a difference by taking small steps to reduce our use of plastic bags. Here are some simple ways you can participate in International Plastic Bag Free Day:

• Bring your reusable bags when shopping. Keep them in your car or carry a foldable bag in your purse or backpack so you're always prepared.

• Say no to plastic bags at checkout. Many stores now offer paper bags or encourage customers to bring their bags.

• Use reusable produce bags instead of plastic ones at the grocery store.

• Choose products with minimal packaging or packaging made from sustainable materials.

• Educate others about the harmful effects of plastic bags and encourage them to make small changes as well.

Businesses can also play a crucial role in reducing plastic bag usage. By implementing sustainable practices and offering alternatives to plastic bags, they can make a significant impact on our environment.

Let's use this day as a reminder to make a conscious effort to reduce our use of plastic bags. By doing so, we can all contribute to a healthier and cleaner planet. Remember, every small action counts.

Join us on International Plastic Bag Free Day and make a difference. Together, we can create a more sustainable future for generations to come.
