"‘Why One Village In Sierra Leone Remains Ebola-Free,’ Resident Matthew Roberts Explains"

"When the epidemic first started, our village headman (the chief) called on all villagers to have a meeting in which everyone was educated thoroughly about the virus. All major ethnic groups residing in the village were represented – TemneSherbroLokoLimbaMende and Fula – and each group had a speaker of their local language to educate their people. All groups were given the same message, but spoken in their different languages."
