BLIS Students Enjoy Field Trips

We greatly appreciate your continued support that is making a difference for students in Cameroon at the Bitame Lucia International School (BLIS). Thanks to your ongoing support several classes got to enjoy field trips these past few weeks.  

The class 3 pupils got to visit ECO PARK Yaounde where they had a tour in the zoo section of the Park and learn about various species of animals and they had the opportunity to feed the fish and also enjoy a horse ride around the park. They also learned about other services offered by the Park.

Bed Nets are Protecting Cameroon Students from Malaria

We are grateful for your support that helped provide long-lasting insecticide-treated nets to children in Cameroon.  Sleeping under a net is the most cost-effective way to prevent malaria, which is the most prevalent disease in Africa, especially in Cameroon.
