With God’s help and his mother’s heroism, Jallah narrowly escaped being a child soldier during the Liberian Civil Wars. He lived in remote villages, constantly hiding from the brutal rebel commanders recruiting children.
A few years later, Jallah convinced his mother to send him back to school during the first “cease fire” agreement between warring factions. Because she couldn’t afford to send him to school, Jallah sold doughnuts and water bottles on the streets to obtain his own elementary school tuition until a church stepped in to pay his tuition in Monrovia, Liberia.
