 ierra Leone: Sierra Leone\, a lush tropical country on the west coast of 
 Africa that boasts beautiful beaches\, picturesque mountains\, and some of
  the richest natural resources and mineral deposits (including diamonds) i
 n the world\, is one of the poorest countries in the world. It consistentl
 y ranks as one of the least developed countries on the United Nations Huma
 n Development Index. It also has one of the highest infant mortality rates
  in the world (children dying before reaching age five). Coupled with this
  overwhelming poverty\, from 1991–2001\, Sierra Leone was embroiled in a
  devastating civil war in which tens of thousands of people were killed an
 d an estimated one million people were forced from their homes and village
 s—many raped\, tortured\, and/or drafted into rebel forces. The war des
 troyed much of the country’s infrastructure and has left its lasting sc
 ars\, most notably on the children—leaving 320\,000 children orphaned. M
 ost people in Sierra Leone live in rural farming communities. A typical fa
 mily dwelling in a village is a mud-walled home with a dirt floor and a th
 atched roof. Cooking is done by outdoor fire. Laundry\, washing\, and bath
 ing are done in the nearest river or with water hauled from the closest wa
 ter source. A typical family’s diet consists of rice\, cassava root\, an
 d leafy greens.
