Briefly, one other aspect on aid is the need for it to go to established community organisations that are run by the people of Sierra Leone because they are located within their communities. Sometimes, an NGO can be a little bit removed and it is important that aid should go to those community groups, which are established and are out in the field. They know their communities and in particular, they know how to communicate with those communities on the best way to deal with the illness, as well as on the best way to handle burials and on how dangerous it is to continue people's usual practices for dealing with those who have passed away.
