“The
Pen Foundation” is established for the expressed
purpose of identifying potential scholars and leaders, develop the culture of
reading, writing and training scholars to become leaders by creating awareness
of social responsibilities, and also encourage students to participate in
public affairs in the spirit of intellectualism. The Pen signifies not only the
writing skills of the individual but the stream from which his/her intelligence
is sourced. The Foundation seeks to create a semi-autonomous think thank that
will serve as a center for research, leadership, capacity building and policy
formulation. The Pen understands and is committed to fulfilling its
responsibilities of abiding by the policies of the University of Makeni and the
Constitution of Sierra-Leone.
