Future Leaders of Sierra Leone Against Corruption

We are an
ever-growing society of young Sierra Leoneans dedicated to the building of a
free and democratic nation in which corruption no longer holds its people
hostage. In our commitment to resisting the temptations of power, wealth, and
fame, we hold to an egalitarian principle of organization, by which all people
are treated and valued equally, regardless of gender, tribal affinity, age,
religion, or race.

Our society grows
organically by forming a “Crue’ of twelve young people (six female, six male),
who select and embrace a unique name and home locality, and elect annually a
member to serve as the group’s representative at societal gatherings. There is
neither hierarchical organization nor formal by-laws as the sole purpose of
FLSLAC is for its members to live the principles we embrace, and to serve as
models to our fellow citizens.
