to me realize my dream will still be. so far to boise touches on some of the issues that come after you survivable and you work with survivors and we hear about you know people's families are gone it's often hard to find work in their stigmatized when you talk to both survivors how do they see their own futures. i mean where is the story is many survivor stories and not to as it solely speak on their behalf the survivor dream project came about because we saw a gap especially for women who were surviving well and we wanted to give them the space and the tools to be able to recover not just a mattress sixty dollars and a certificate that says your survivor which was what a lot of survivors were receiving after leaving the treatment centers we wanted them to redesign and really have the space in the capacity in the tools to pick up the pieces and to really consider what surviving means and what it looks like in

the context that they find themselves in i watching that video of jubilation right after we were declared able to free brings back so many memories but it also brings a reality that was you touched upon which was a lot of survivors went to the streets that day in freetown also with everyone the entire community entire nation was happy that we were finally out of the one of the darkest moments in our history a lot about survivors could not stay on the streets a free time to celebrate a lot of them went home early and they said here a lot of people celebrating that all is gone but for us. the struggle continues they don't feel safe in that space they felt immediately forgotten and they felt that people couldn't really relate with the aftereffects of having survived the so three years on that we have a lot to be proud of as a country the work that was that has gone into trying to reach you know they're missing components to rebuilding a resilient community but we can never forget that. walking past

trauma takes a long time and we have to continuously relentlessly persistently create the conditions to be able to support everyone but survivable walking past trauma takes a long time and i had to write that down because i think it's so powerful what you said in john i saw you nodding your head there as as talk to is speaking what were you thinking. yeah we go it does take time to get across the country went through a devastating civil war and even two thousand and one a so i'm not took awhile to get over it you still hear people talking about those stories what sixty years on the end of the war so so with that you know people's background and most. recently you know we were trying to work with some of the same tools that we used after the war in the same way after all withdraw to help communities. but you know it's not he says it's a real process that it's going to take i'm there even some estimates that you know

the costs coming up a the coming years the impact of all that will be felt areas like. education so they still need to engage from experience commit to the life and as well even if the actual community who came here and supported some i still have the attention as well shifted elsewhere to other things so we're getting questions from our online community i phone and we actually got this question for you this is from hand she says have relationships with friends and family and change can you speak to that. relations you know sometimes cheat you got them something other what am i going to let me. say have some no trouble with some friends it can stand in syria and some of it was most of the economic and it might be anybody's time like this people want you to believe that it's gone so are some little act of my just simply going with.

yes i think to yes they listen to me and i'm so happy they don't want to listen to much of the west bill is talking up for something and i think the international community and what might follow this. through france were a step in. the us with so there are some. so that's. interests like you want to press them to be ok but i jumped at them and i think you know you know when you talk about really interesting survivors in society it sounds like a word we're hearing from a lot of survivors we've done a couple of these shows featuring survivors of a ball and stigma is a word that comes up time and again survivors say they continue to face it was a fact of stigmatization so i have a look at this clip from the al-jazeera online team and i'll direct this to you.

it. has destroyed.

so many. people in that video talked about being treated as outcasts one man said when he would give people money they wouldn't even take his money so it's a fear that people had and i know that also extended to people in the medical community can you relate to that and what you're hearing from other survivors about some of that stigma that they face. and. also. and there was so many rejection quite a rumor for no money from the photographer cost me one night and some of this is so before i was born on. this group of kids. the or assisted us all this mom is likely to be units and no one wants to give them food and water i'm really going to cry i'm sort of on again after they leave the. minute

people they don't want to leave to the. album call. so carbon call the father of all us of our because of all of this is. the world recognizing what to. do every term us to bring down because of stress for them an opportunity and we have evidence to prove or to the person of the lost a move on the lost our jobs after less than you need. some of them. with you the yes the leases when we saw this happening in the heart and i will have to. see that the. contract level two years ago that. they were trying to graduate with all the relatives and the rejections and the suspension was just too much for them of a little bit of seeing the first thing. people. all the more they're

called the bucket list and you've given the support they need to. get it just as you saw bottles juggle story about it that you don't get will bug you and not yours don't tell us we don't want to shock you want to be sure i just look all this speaking of that traumatic experience to take a look at this comment we got from peggy on facebook she asks how are people who experience a poet dealing with the trauma and are they getting enough help especially orphans now this was one of the most heartbreaking aspects of the whole story to what what are the needs for the thousands of apollo orphans what kind of help are there receiving and what do they need most. i think that question is expensive and i think a lot of the time the kinds of questions we want to know how are survivors fernald how are orphans carrying on and from a government perspective it's very easy for the government to say less than and

then we can take the example of the president and the government launched a recovery a twenty four recovery twenty four months recovery kuan which was quite symbolic that the government was with the people if they're young and wanted us to heal and deal with what happened to their country what that twenty four months of recovery plan translates to in terms of impact on out for the jury you look at the president been very clear about trying to restore health care trying to get one point one million children back into school for free trying to protect vulnerable populations and assist the private sector so i argue that quite often because we know that these are long term institutional building blocks that need to happen over time i think what's really missing is is. in order to really build resilient community so that we understand what's happening with orphans what's happening with survivors that have been calling for a long time that we as an international community we as a national government meet. if you do better this conversation this ask this call

isn't new what what is missing from this recovery or this response to the crisis oftentimes is there's a lack of focus on on looking at mental health and mental wellbeing as an as an instrumental parts of the recovery we focus so much on. service delivery because it's measurable and we can point to it and said we've got one point one million children back in school but what does that mean what does that mean in real terms for orphans what does that mean in real terms or for healing and dealing with trauma so just to answer just to wrap up in terms of answering your question there are many examples and and ways in which the government development agencies locals in sierra leone liberia and guinea can't speak to the progress that's been made to deal with the crisis but i think the focus is true much on service delivery as opposed to taken mental health as a critical point to our recovery and i think it's interesting you mention that i put this up here from the c.d.c. the u.s.

centers for disease control and prevention and you talk about there being too much of a focus on delivery and not enough on how people are doing how their mental health is doing and and those that that end of the spectrum this is the impact of a bill on the health care system so the people who would be delivering this how this mental health counseling to people who needed health care providers who are at the highest christe you see here eight percent reduction of health care workforce. in liberia and according to the c.d.c. twenty three percent decrease in health services delivery in sierra leone and then i know that people online are also talking about that you know we also got this tweet from nigeria from seed in nigeria take a look she says we lost dr stella she heard of the widespread of the able a virus risking her life to place patrick sawyer in quarantine and that was a case in lagos nigeria and so could you speak to what has been the effect of losing these doctors and to other health care workers who are dying and able outbreak how have you been able to try to rebuild from that point.

when a challenge is to do it. this week is the anniversary of the ironic term the young dr that the skull and kentucky people involved. a call not a good at the person i was pondering also. that a skull and water walk. and seneca saw his young wife with a young baby woke up and i was just crying because i cannot believe that's complete the medical school another begin was against he took the risk go to the tribunal any contact with the ball as he died and then flew first or yell later the was gone all. apartments on us for seventy thousand lublin dollars less than sixty bucks us the young man who was leveling the needs. another stern don't have a future. when

a large sum of that was so what it was i was we were going through this. program. this system is trying to punish those that those innocents that the. above example the post graduate school grad with some confusion and so against the first of its rather less against. the medical school spungen but in this you know look of the nurses in the doctors who are involved in the blood are left with huge trauma one of them said to me every night before i go to bed i cried it's like three years after the average so what happened to the million vulgarly trauma so that the station of life was a vision among. that we still need to do something about the media trying to be strong but it is also on the. foday can you relate to that i see you nodding your

head so here so you see i mean like i tell you want something happening to others. and in your competitors across any get it want to do it because they are represented at that time about a lot of story happening to people think the story and you know nothing of that and so sometimes. i want to be jetting to come because my friends could be enacted to get ten minutes of us on. i mean sometimes you know i'm just joined at the fire as a problem so i will become on the mouth a point as it is a situation us about what can we do it just want to i mean we have to respond we're just a single press and we could not look at the time you want what do you mean not you know what do you want to have me so what is that we are with all of us do not always be taught and nothing is all about it like you said i don't. want to answer

our country but to be there are many gaps when will you get if you. actually do you know what is happening to me i can see what is happening to me to you i'm just one of those who treat you know it's about a contribution of them union points and me so smartly that they want to sit by myself and that got me a question because there is no not because nothing is not. i mean i want to live with this trauma quick reza right you can imagine we have six of our now that hamas . says is going this will lead to what happened to fritter what happened in guinea so let me talk it people can find. you lost you lost so. there is a little but we will look at it and see right now if.

you start we have to be. done so what you are not being you know i mean it's not such a problem so i'm getting up when the international community is just in october. it will but it won't work because if we have. well some of the come up with. it my guess is that what you would want. people come. in is not wasn't that not because. they like their family so this person. what can you would do well to do so find a speaking of what the government can do. we got we got comments on on all the amount of aid that was pouring into all of these countries at the height of the crisis and it raises the question of what happened with all that money take a look at this comment we got on you tube from the home and he says if we really

invested more men in medical care and made medical a huge priority and developed countries a bolo would be controlled or better yet eradicated and john this raises the whole issue of the structures that came the temporary hospitals that were set up take a look at my computer you can see one of the tents at least one of the emergency treatment centers and we saw many of these centers being built all over the three countries john can you talk about what happened to all that infrastructure because it wasn't designed to last. yeah i mean if you remember going back three years the immediate need was to have place isolation of people to be in fact all of the solution here and at least part of that was the rapidly build up some of the sense as you know that we are supposed to building about forty six community cats and the british army came in and built a number of sense as well as a temporary structure and yes they exist anymore but i think mohamed on social

media you know has a very good point we don't about nigeria they were able to deal with the case and sort of you know quickly stopped them out of senegal had a case they were able to deal with it so i think we saw in countries that just had a slightly higher level of health services able to deal with this situation or out of control i don't think it's a criticism is that it was getting scary and in my period ready felt the presence of these you know these houses ready and strengthening along with the wind system and that's what that asking going on most of what is needed but it's something we're trying to do the government so whether it's building so these amounts of health centers i'm working on a free health care on training staff the idea is to have a stronger system community health workers out there who are looking for these easy like of all this is that if it comes again we could be a lot faster in getting hold of it you know i spent strengthen system thought about

resilience if there is that then should something not happen again whether it's all or all color which in color you know the system can react better that these thing can be nipped in the much soon to be all or get out of oh i have to have them so you know the effects of that crisis yeah i don't but i know that lifeline is where we'll have to end this conversation but i think it's a positive one and nipping this in the bud before it gets to this level and now the health community knows what it needs to do i think to john james. to warry and with so that i get the last part talking. in a down to the last word to boys who pitched this program is the reason why we're doing the show in sierra leone he says survivors have yet to pick up the pieces after the epidemic stigma is still something we're dealing with that you'd like to know more about this story check out the film return to liberia life after surviving a ball up on al-jazeera dot com thanks for watching. us
