The campaign

Love One Another

Christian T. H. Bell, MD, founded the Love One Another Campaign in Sierra Leone. Rev. Canon Dr. Modupe Taylor-Pearce launched it at the British Council in Freetown on 16 December 1998.

The book records the campaign’s public gatherings, community visits and support for farmers. The gallery brings those moments together.
