Photo journal: Sierra Leone bridge house

Mohamed has spent his own savings to buy paint to create a vision of how he would like the area, which is strewn with excrement and rubbish, to look one day.

"When I came here the first time people had messed this place. I clean it, I put in a bench, I begin to play music, and entertain the people in the area. Now I tell the people about reggae and peace. I am the caretaker of the bridge and I take great care as a citizen. I have a vision."
