In October 2010 the first members of the tribe arrived on Sierra Leone’s John Obey Beach, 20 miles south of the capital, Freetown, and began to build a new community alongside the local fishing village. The first season saw the building of cal-earth dome classic and the honeydome, the sea bright solar tower, beach kitchen, first two VIP Shacks on the lagoon, and permaculture gardens. Some of the structures they built are suppose to last for fifty years and hopefully bring sustainability the community for many years to come!
The NGO wasn't a christian ministry but it was still cool to go and see what others are doing in this country to try and help. They are genuinely trying to make a difference in the communities here as well as show the western world that the war in Sierra Leone is over now and you wont be shot or caught up in diamond trade if you come.

We had a great time at the celebration of dancing and singing, then stayed the night in tents on the beach. Had some good local food, took some nice bucket showers, and ultimately enjoyed Gods creation as the moon lit up the sky as we sat around the bomb fire enjoying our time in the village and off the ship. Had a good weekend at Tribewanted and hope to back again someday.
