Rietta’s Short Stay Rental

14/06/2026

Yesterday, we had the honor of hosting the teachers of Our Lady of Guadalupe at Rietta’s Short Stay Rental in Freetown for a day of relaxation, food , games, dancing, and wellness.

With just one call to Sallay Kholipha, she was immediately on board to help make this gathering special. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Koroma for your support and generosity.

Sally and I are both proud former students and boarders of Our Lady Of Guadalupe - SL. It was wonderful to see that some of the same teachers who guided us during our childhood are still serving the school today.

We are who we are because of the formation provided by the Clarissan Missionaries and the dedication, sacrifice, and hard work of these remarkable teachers. We remain deeply grateful for the impact they have had on the lives of countless girls in Sierra Leone.

Many people reading this post can testify to the success stories that continue to emerge from Guadalupe. Over the years, I have watched one accomplished woman after another rise from its classrooms, carrying forward the values and education they received there.

To our beloved teachers, thank you for your service, commitment, and the countless sacrifices you have made to shape generations of young women. We hope you had a wonderful day and felt appreciated for all that you have done and continue to do.

A grateful heart never forgets. ❤️🙏🏾

We had fun with the sisters

20/07/2025

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of hosting the Clarissan Missionaries at our Airbnb. We created beautiful memories and reminisced about past experiences.

Fun fact: Still a teenager , I entered the convent to become a religious sister. My mother was supportive, but my father thought I was too young to make such a decision. He gave me hard time but I was resolute.

I completed fifth form in uniform while undergoing formation with the cobgregation. Shortly after graduating from high school, I left for Nigeria for further formation and missionary work. In brief, I completed my formative years, took three vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience. I cherished my years as a Clarissan missionary, but I missed my family dearly. When the war began, the uncertainty of not knowing my family's whereabouts also took a toll on me. I returned to Sierra Leone and, as a young sister, continued to serve God. Given the state of the country, it was necessary to leave again. The burden of being 'free' while my family was in the midst of the conflict was too heavy for me. I went to bid them farewell, but God had other plans. Eventually, I requested the dispensation of my vows. It was a difficult decision, as I loved the missionary life. I took my vows seriously, but I knew I could no longer serve God in this capacity. I parted ways with the congregation after 10 years as a young sister. I attribute every success and path I've taken to this congregation. I learned the value of sacrifice, empathy, kindness, and being my brother's keeper. I learned to detach from material things and not be carried away. I learned how to serve God as a sinner. I owe this congregation a great debt. I have remained connected and will always stay connected. Their joy gives me fulfillment. We laughed in Spanish, Igbo, and Creole and reminisced about my enforced errors during my formative years. I am still smiling.

I proudly embrace the saying “Na mother pikin . I still carry the formative years today. I am grounded and sharing every experience with my beautiful daughters .
