In 2009, Frank Amadou Bio and Gabriel Warren Schlough first met in a Sierra Leonean village called Mabulveh where they were repairing roads, clearing fields, and planting crops for the Voluntary Work-Camps of Sierra Leone. Frank was an English and Literature teacher at the Prince of Wales, Freetown, Sierra Leone; Gabriel was a Neuroscience student at the University of Minnesota in the United States. As they worked together through the rainy season, they exchanged ideas about how to create a valuable impact in the health of Sierra Leone. After the camp concluded, they laid down the groundwork for what would be WAMM's first mission in Sierra Leone set to take place in the summer of 2010. Three years later, WAMM emerged as a registered Voluntary Community-Based Organization in Sierra Leone, approved as a tax-exempt 501(c)3 international non- profit organization with offices in the US and SL.
