Meet Abu

Abu Bakar Bangura

Abu Bakar Bangura was a beautiful boy that was born to Zarah and Abu Baimba Bangura; the only son and child to Zarah Bangura. He was a delightful child that was well cared for and provided for. Abu was delightful and lived his life to the fullest. He was handsome, charming, loving, kind, loved art and music and you will be surprised at how much he can sing a tune and memorize all the lyrics of a song that he likes. He was a great dancer and enjoys partying with his family and friends. Abu was a giver, not a taker. He was exceptionally generous and always there for those in need, especially his friends. Sadly, all this huge personality of his was ceased by suicide and this created a shock not only to his family but his friends. Abu had an internal struggle with depression and did not seek help. He was very much loved and his family was in shock, still in shock as they continue to endure and cope with the pain and void, hence the need to create this suicide prevention mission.
