Sierra Leonians Survive In One Of The Worlds Poorest Countries

FREETOWN, SIERRA LEONE - NOVEMBER 28: A general view of the countryside just outside Freetown on November 28, 2006 near Freetown, Sierra Leone. The country is trying to attract tourists but is held back by the image of a country ravaged by war. Sierra Leone was devastated by a decade long civil war but peace was declared in 2002 and the country has struggled to get back on its feet. Reconstruction continues and travellers are beginning to trickle in. However, life is still hard for many of the residents and it was recently ranked second last in the UN's most recent Human Development Index. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images)
