Visiting former Cameroonian Student

                   From L to R: Celsius, Jennifer, Jindra, Clara (child), Pavla, Louise & Tom

On Sunday, June 23rd, 2019 Louise, Jindra and I visited Celsius and his family in Gig Harbor, Washington. Celsius is one of the best of our former Cameroonian students. He has two degrees, one in physics and another in civil engineering. His wife Jennifer also has two degrees, one in public health and she is also a physician assistant. They met through our pen pal program and Jennifer visited him in Cameroon for the first time in 2009. They got married both in Cameroon and in the United States. They have a beautiful daughter Clara you can see on the photograph.

Celsius started a small business and apparently it is successful since they already have nine employees. Jen works with Celsius in this business and they decided they wanted to support Educare-Africa and set up regular donations from their e-Bay sales. They are dedicated to support education in Celsius beautiful country of Cameroon. I am very grateful.

We enjoyed our precious time together, some Cameroonian and American food prepared by both Celsius and Jen and discussed also our volunteer work in Cameroon.

Both Louise and Jindra are our dedicated and generous board members and my dear friends and we look forward to our next get together with Celsius and his family, at this time maybe in Albany or Corvallis.

We will keep you informed about the situation in Cameroon and our continuing work to assist many students and schools there.

Thank you all very much for your loving care and continuing kind and generous support! Together, we are changing the world one step at a time for better.

With much love, joy, peace, hope and gratitude,
Fondly,

Pavla & Educare-Africa Team
