A graduate student of mine was reading a book about Sierra Leone, and she discovered that the word "Kenema," the hospital that we work at and the city where we work in Sierra Leone, is named after the Mende word for "clear like a river, translucent and open to the public gaze."
Jedna má doktorandka četla knihu o Sierra Leone a zjistila, že slovo "Kenema", jméno nemocnice a města,  ve kterém pracujeme, znamená v jazyce Mende  "čistý jako řeka, průsvitný, veřejně viditelný".
