Pavla's side project - Helping stray animals

Justin Tagne from the Cameroon Baptist Center in Bamenda and Pavla organized the handing over of donations in-kind from the Reid Veterinary Hospital, Albany Animal Hospital, Periwinkle Pet Clinic in Albany and Hopes Haven Rescue group in Salem. In addition, Justin organized public viewing of the Dog Whisperer show with Cesar Millan at the Center and Pavla did something similar in Tatum for neighbors and their children. At the end the DVD will be donated to Tatum Public Library. About 45 people participated including dog owners, breeders, veterinarians, dog lovers and children. Justin will continue to work with Dr. Munki Julius Nfor, a veterinarian and coordinator for a non-profit group in Bamenda, S.P.A.L.E.
Mbinkar Victor is one of Pavla's former students. He now owns a small bakery at Bangante, West Region. He also gives holiday jobs to needy students and looks for ways to help stray animals in his neighborhood. You can view video clips of some of these activities below.

Below are video clips from the ceremony at G.S.S. Nseh, which took place on May 29th, 2009.

G.S.S. Tatum in 2000 and Today

The photograph of Government Secondary school in Tatum you see here was taken in 2000, one year after I completed my Peace Corps. There was no administrative building, no science laboratory and no staff room. At that time, about 400 students attended the school. Today, it is a high school (since 2001) and over 1000 students

were enrolled in 2008/2009 academic year. There is a well equipped science laboratory now, more classrooms, an administrative building and just recently was added a new staff room, which will be completed before the new school year will start. You can see the school how it is today on the video below.
