A.   On May 4, PEN Sierra Leone, a literary club, in collaboration 
with the United States Embassy in Freetown, celebrated the 37th 
anniversary of Earth day with an essay competition.  In a prize 
ceremony at the Embassy, the Ambassador said the celebrations were 
to raise environmental awareness among Sierra Leoneans. 
The local press reported as follows:                   "Sierra Leone 
PEN, U.S. Embassy celebrate Earth Day" AWOKO 5/7 
                    "U.S. Ambassador impressed with young pupils" 
THE EXCLUSIVE 5/7 
 
B. The Ambassador expressed satisfaction for President Kabbah, the 
Minister of Gender and Children's Affairs, and the Parliamentary 
Committee Chairman on Human Rights having provided critical support 
for the Trafficking in Person Legislation Act that passed in 2005. 
"Sierra Leone has done well, but Sierra Leone must continue to do 
better," he said at a conference.  He said the U.S. and other donors 
would continue to support efforts to overcome the scourges of 
trafficking in person and exploitation of child labor. 
 
 The local press reported as follows: 
"U.S. Ambassador commends Kabbah" THE SPARK 5/29 
 
C.  President Bush has announced the nomination of Ambassador June 
Carter Perry, currently in Lesotho, to replace Ambassador Hull who 
will become a professor.  Ambassador Perry's biographic background 
provided.

2. KEY MEDIA STORIES 
 
A.  The National Electoral Commission (NEC) circulated a new 
proposed timetable for the presidential and parliamentary elections, 
suggesting a new elections date of August 11, 2007. The change of 
date from July 28 is due to the constitutionally stipulated number 
of days required between the closure of Parliament (now on June 25) 
and Election Day. 
 
The local press reported s follows: 
"New Date for 2007 Elections" NEW CITIZEN 5/7 
"Thorpe Proposes New Election Date" AWOKO 5/7 
 
 
B.  The Acting Director of National AIDS Secretariat in Freetown 
says according to the 2006 UNAIDS report some 5,200 Sierra Leonean 
children are living with HIV/AIDS in the country.  Dr. Kargbo said 
out of the 5,200 children living with the virus only 52 have been 
identified and only 13 are now on anti-retroviral drugs.  He said 
government has opened about 90 Prevention of Mother to Child 
transmission Centers (PMTCT) all over the country. 
 
The local press reported as follows: 
"5,200 Children Infected with HIV," 5/9 
 
C. 46 chiefdoms out of 91 where the Arms for Development Project 
operates have been verified and certified arms-free by the Sierra 
Leone Police.   The Officer Commanding (Fire Arms Dept) at Police 
Headquarters said some 9,541 ammunition were collected from the 
people in 91 chiefdoms where they have been operating. 
 
The local press reported as follows: 
"9,541 weapons collected in 46 chiefdoms" NEW VISION 5/10 
 
D. A Sierra Leonean, Jacob Conteh, wrote of his experiences in 
living in the United States.  He said "Today, there is still a 
distorted picture of America all over the world, especially in 
Africa.  Many feel that once they make it to America, they will 
strike gold and become rich ... America definitely offers immense 
opportunities ... But those opportunities come with a huge price ... 
In my case I had to start as a cook, do many odd jobs, go to 
graduate school, and climb through the ladder slowly before landing 
a decent paying job."  He further advised, "Perhaps before coming to 
America, one should thoroughly examine the conditions here (USA). 
If your aim of coming to America is to come here and make quick 
money and return home to live happily after, then you have the wrong 
motive."  Conteh is now a Senior Editor living in Alexandria, 
Virginia. 
 
The local press reported as follows:
