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. 

Your continued support of students in Cameroon is greatly appreciated. Collette Bekaku, Founder/Executive Director CAPEC Cameroon partnered with her church, the United Methodist Women Association Cameroon – UMWAC and Develop Africa to create a project called “One child, one pencil” to collect and ship school supplies to students in Cameroon. 

Your continued support of students in Cameroon is greatly appreciated. Collette Bekaku, Founder/Executive Director CAPEC Cameroon sent the below update.

Dear Friends/supporters/partners,

First, I want to thank you all for your continuous support for our education programs. We are indebted to you.

With the education material donated by Develop Africa Inc and GlobalGiving donors, nearly all of our students/pupils went home with school supplies by the end of the school year.

Thank you for your continued support that helped ship 4 drums of school supplies to Bitame Lucia International School (BLIS). The students and staff were so thankful for the school supplies. The manager, headteacher, and students expressed their gratitude in this video saying-

Because of your continued support students in six schools in the Garoua 1 District of Garoua, Cameroon recently received school supplies. The students at each school were delighted to receive the school supplies.

The supplies were recently distributed in partnership with the US Army in Cameroon and Spirit of America. Your donations helped cover some of the administrative and logistics costs. 

One of the US Army soldiers that participated in the distribution explained that: 

The students at Kamawornie primary school and Kamawornie Secondary school in Northern Cameroon are thankful for your support.  The students in both schools received school supplies and tuition assistance for this school year and they are doing well and enjoying school thanks to the support they have received from generous donors.

You can see in this video their appreciation and see them learning and singing at school.

Thanks in part to your generous donations school supplies were shipped and distributed to  Kamawornie primary school and Kamawornie Junior Secondary school.  The children and families were very grateful for the school supplies and one of the staff expressed his gratitude in this video saying:

The students at Bitame Lucia Nursery and Primary School (BLIS)  are back in school and thanks to generous donors like you several students have received tuition support and school supplies.  One of the students that started school this year is Nebimi. 

The students at Bitame Lucia Nursery and Primary School (BLIS)  are enjoying their summer with summer sports and summer workshops.  One of the summer school workshops was on "My favorite Hero" and favorite Pet. The children had a great time participating.  There are also sports camps through the summer such as the CAPEC Community Sports Program, which works to improve lives through sports.  You can see more photos in the photo album

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.
