The Red Box supports Radio Maria, run by the Catholic Church in Sierra Leone. During the Ebola epidemic it is broadcasting lessons so that children and young people who can’,t gather at school don’,t miss out on their education. It is saving lives by providing information on how to prevent the spread of Ebola. It is comforting the sick and the dying by leading the community in prayer.
