Sierra Leone, a country in West Africa, faces several challenges. You may have heard of a few of these challenges, like the aftermath of the horrific Ebola epidemic. Maybe you have heard about the children soldiers who wield guns bigger than themselves. But there is another epidemic facing Sierra Leone—the rapid increase in the number of teenage girls who are pregnant and unwed.  
 

We often hear of the deprivation and starvation in Africa, but did you know that Africa has the potential to be a major supplier of agricultural goods? Africa has the capability to feed its citizens, and more. Unfortunately, too many African countries lack the leadership necessary to make that happen.

Agriculture was once an abundant commodity in Africa. Agricultural commodities were a major export for most sub-Saharan countries in the late 1960’s. Three decades later these countries were importing millions of tons of food each year. What happened?
 

Public Relations Officer in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology yesterday stated that about 50% to 60% of girls that are currently pregnant are those who do not want to be in the school system.

He revealed that the ministry has recorded a total of 3,017 pregnant school girls across the country over the past nine to ten months.

The technology behind 3D printing was developed in the 80's, and it was originally used to make prototypes of invention ideas.

With increased popularity, the cost of owning a 3D printer has dropped, and the latest models can print much faster.

The sun was the first source of power to humankind. It is the largest object in our Solar System and provides the earth with unfathomable amounts of energy. In one hour the earth receives more energy from the sun than the entire human race uses in a year.[1] From the sun we get solar energy.

     Energy boosted economic growth in many nations after its development. Energy also left many nations in the dust because of its price. Nearly 1.3 billion people do not have electricity according to the “The Guardian.” Most of these people are located in the Sub-Saharan Desert and in rural areas in Asia. But why doesn’t the Sub-Sahara Desert have access to electricity and why haven’t there been any improvements?

A saying goes:

Many non-profit organizations, venture capitalists, and philanthropists are investing in or founding e-learning programs.

Serum therapy is broadly defined as the act of transferring certain humoral antibodies from an animal proved to have a high concentration of these antibodies to another animal in need of the same antibodies temporarily. The applications of this term is widely used even when other species other than human is the recipient or donor. As part of the solution to many viral diseases there are also probes associated with serum therapy as a whole, those include transmission of other infections other than the target disease.
