Beautiful Country, Nice and Kind-hearted People -Great America

Dear friends, in the next couple of weeks I shall be sharing with you my experiences in America. I had the opportunity to go to a number of places for mission appeals on behalf of my diocese, Kumbo-Cameroon. Generally, I was touched by numerable things: friendly, kind and generous people, beautiful and well-catered for churches, beautiful roads-that is, there is no place which is inaccessible by roads, and a number of other things which I will bring forth subsequently. Indeed, may God bless America. There shall much to talk about. Catch you!

Mission Statement

The “Help Cameroonian School Kids” initiative is an outreach program for the underprivileged and vulnerable children living in the most interior and remotest areas of the diocese of Kumbo. The goal: to help children get an education.

We intend to provide the tuition, books and fees necessary to allow these children to attend school. By completing and furthering their education, the children will be able to bear witness that education brings light to a community. Impoverished families may see that education improves the standard of living, allowing people to acquire decent jobs and work towards achieving economic self-sufficiency.

In order to create a sustainable program, the community itself must also acquire certain basic skills such as: 1) Development skills where those who achieve higher education give back to the community and help to promote progress; 2) Initiative skills that teach resourceful and creative problem-solving; and 3) Technological skills to manage ever-changing innovations. To this end, we intend to create a Community-based Collaborative Group in each village involved in our outreach program. Each Group would be comprised of trained men and women who will disseminate information and dispense the available help to the children in need.

We realize that initially classes may need to take place in temporary locations. However, with the support of our donors and in collaboration with the local community, we hope to aid in the construction of durable school buildings where learning may take place. With the help of God, we pray and bestow our blessings upon all those who will support this venture.
