Crowds chant ‘Ebola, Ebola’ at them; teams forfeit matches against them. But that has not stopped the Sierra Leone national football team. We meet one of the squad’s stars and learn about his campaign #KickEbolaInTheButt. Also on this edition, the harrowing story of a Salvadoran teenager seeking asylum in the United States. An Afghan student recounts his first days in the US, and his bewilderment at the American chicken sandwich. And, a war correspondent awards ceremony brings hope and comfort to the family of slain American journalist James Foley. Plus, we visit a pop-up shop in New York dedicated to Russian President Vladimir Putin. And, we drop by NYC’s tiniest museum, where everyday objects take centre stage.
