In the heart of Sierra Leone, nestled between rolling hills and dense forests, lay the small Limba village of Kori.

Here, Abu, a curious 10-year-old Limba child, lived with his wise and aged grandfather, Pa Kebbie.

Abu's days were filled with wonder and exploration. He spent his mornings learning ancient stories and customs from Pa Kebbie.

"Our ancestors believed in living in harmony with nature," Pa Kebbie taught. "We must respect the land, the animals, and the spirits that dwell here."
