Bring feared Ebola, African Boy Denied Exchange Student to UK
Later Sierra Leone, a small country in the western region in the spotlight since the state was ranked first as the victims of the Ebola epidemic in the world. Inevitably this also affects the population. No exception for a boy from Sierra Leone this. This year Kofi Mason-Sesay planned to spend several weeks to study at St Simon's Catholic Primary School, Stockport, England. Over in England, the boy who has a dual citizenship (UK-Sierra Leone) will be staying at his mother's house in Greater Manchester colleagues. But unfortunate for Kofi. School policy to receive a visit from a 9-year-old boy as a new student opposition from other parents. They worry that this boy carrying the Ebola virus and infect their children. His mother, Miriam Britons (48) would not accept. Briton insisted he and his son, Kofi has received the green light from Health Protection Agency for a visit to the UK. However, due to strong opposition from the parents of St. Simon's Catholic Primary School, the visit was canceled. "It makes my heart broken. Unfortunately there is so much pressure from parents that the school board should be obeyed," lamented Briton who has been working in Sierra Leone EducAid charities for 14 years, as quoted by the Mirror, Kamsi (08/10/2014 ). In fact, in order to cancel the arrival of Kofi and his mother, the parents filed a new petition the school. Whereas the previous month the school has distributed a newsletter containing a statement of the Public Health England that African people who do not show symptoms of Ebola also declared safe for traveling. Public Health England alone has made sure they will not carry the risk of any disease.
