Author's Note: Many thanks to my wonderful betas,
dragonlilleth,
fallenwitch, and
jandjsalmon. I am infinitely grateful for all their help. Considerable research went into this fic - however, any errors concerning Sierra Leone are my own.

Appendix:
These are the sites I referred to in my research for this fic. I encourage you to look at them if you are curious and form your own opinion about Sierra Leone and the need there. Also, feel free to ask me any questions if you’re so inclined. I’m hardly an expert but I’ve learned a fair amount from writing this!

And the knowledge about London was all my own…but I still won’t make any money from this, despite promoting the view from Lambeth Bridge.
And of course, I’ve just used Draco and Ginny for my own pleasure…and hopefully yours too!
