Abstract
In 2022, the Sierra Leone Ireland Partnership
(SLIP) marked its 30th year with the publication
of Leaves from the Cotton Tree: Celebrating
Thirty Years of the Sierra Leone Ireland Partnership
(funded by a grant from Irish Aid).
The book takes its name from the iconic cotton tree
where, in 1792, a group of former slaves, who had
come from Nova Scotia, established the beginning of
the settlement that became Freetown. Sadly, the tree,
which was a national landmark, suffered signifi cant
damage during a heavy rain storm in May 2023.
