This week on the @opensocietyfoundations Instagram, Nana Kofi Acquah @africashowboy is taking-over the feed looking at life after Ebola in Sierra Leone and how people are recovering after the world's attention to the epidemic wanes.

Despite the World Health Organization declaring Sierra Leone Ebola-free in March 2016, the country still has a long way to go to rebuild after it left close to 4,000 dead and decimated an already-weak healthcare system.

Please follow along this week on our Instagram feed and join us at Photoville Wednesday September 21-Sunday September 25, 2016 where we have an exhibition of photography from Ebola Through the Lens, a photo competition produced by Open Society Institute for West Africa.
