Your support helped the students at Bitame Lucia School (BLIS) receive some computer training.   Many of these children had never seen a computer before the training.  Computer Training is an ongoing need for children in and around the community as it helps to eradicate poverty by enhancing education, broadening options and opening the door to new opportunities. 

Your generous support has provided school meals to 500 students at the Bitame Lucia School, which is located in a  rural area of Nkolfoulou.  Before the introduction of school meals in the school, there had been lots of absenteeism due to lack of food. Children also fell asleep in the classroom because they were hungry or sick. There were even several cases of food being stolen at school because those children had no food at home.  

We are truly grateful for your support that is helping to educate displaced and deprived kids in Cameroon.  The school is still in a dire and deprived condition in terms of facilities and resources.  The school officials are hopeful that they will receive support from the local government in the near future.

Thanks in part to your generous donations the students at Bitame Lucia Nursery and Primary School (BLIS) have had a very enjoyable second half of their school year.  

On March 28, the secondary school students had their first ever social. There were lots of activities including sugar race, bag race, blind shooting, relay running, singing, dancing and ballet. The day ended with awards for the winners and light refreshments.

We are excited to share that thanks in part to your generous support we shipped out 20 drums full of school supplies to Cameroon this week.

Your support has helped provide school supplies to the Bitame Lucia Nursery and Primary School (BLIS) as well as to other schools. Pencils and school supplies were distributed to the pupils of Nyabi Primary School. This school has 800 pupils, 400 which are refugees children from Central Africa and Nigeria. The families fled their homes due to violent conflicts in the Central African Republic (CAR) and increasing animosity between armed groups in northern Nigeria. 

Your support helped ship 14 drums from Johnson City, TN to Kentucky (More Photos).  The school supplies were then airlifted to Northern Cameroon. Our implementing partner, the Civil Affairs Team - US Army, is distributing the school supplies in Garoua, Cameroon. The team has been working tirelessly with the village and school leaders to address some of the village's vulnerabilities and help minimize the influence of Boko Haram in the region

The students at Bitame Lucia Nursery and Primary School (BLIS) are enjoying school thanks to your ongoing support that has provided school supplies, books, and scholarships for them. 

Since school reopened, the older students are enjoying playing sports and excitedly learning in school.  The nursery students love playing, exercising on the playground and also learning in their classrooms.  The kids are so grateful for the opportunity to learn and prepare themselves for a bright future. 

Classes have just resumed at the Bitame Lucia Nursery and Primary School in Nkolfoulou, Cameroon.   Marveline and her sister have received all their books for their new classes thanks to generous donations. They both passed their end of year examinations; Marveline came out with the 2nd best marks in her class and her little sister came out the best in her own class.  They started Class 5 and Class 3 this week.
