Updates from Cameroon

Finally we started our fundraising project at Ntaaba, as our coordinator, Mr. Kevin reports. However, getting photographs from the site is still challenging. As soon as we will receive some, they will be posted on our blog here and also on Facebook Educare-Africa pages.

Our housekeeper in Tatum, Mr. Basil, is taking good care not only of our property but also our animals. Below are a few current photographs of them.

We will continue with our volunteer work as the situation will allow and keep you informed. We greatly appreciate your loving care and continuing tremendous support. Thank you so much! Take care and stay in touch.

Starting New Fundraising Project

Thanks to our kind and generous donors we are starting a new fundraising project in Cameroon prepared by our field coordinator, Mr. Kevin. In a few years this project should begin generating some funds to support our important volunteer work in Cameroon.

We will keep you informed as this project will progress.

In addition, we continue gathering funds for our Community Resource Center project in Tatum and we plan to resume work as soon as it will be possible.

Pavla continues working with her wonderful editor Chris on her book, which eventually might become another fundraiser for Educare-Africa.

Thank you all so much for your continuing tremendous support. We certainly could not do this work without your loving care and dedication.

Please, take care of yourselves in these challenging times and we look forward to hear from you again at the right time.

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

Educare-Africa Team

News/Updates

We are still waiting for the situation in the English part of Cameroon, especially the NW Region, where we are based, to get resolved. In the meantime we continue assisting several students who are in school now: two future medical doctors, one nurse and two future veterinarians. Before the end of this year we will also assist a new student, Njilah Percy Bright, who is in a secondary school.

In addition, we are saving precious funds for our Community Resource Center project in Tatum and we will resume work as soon as it will be possible.

On Tuesday, October 29th, 2019, Pavla did a presentation about our volunteer work in Cameroon for the Optimist International Club in Albany, Oregon. Among other things she also talked about a book fundraiser she has been working on since her Peace Corps service ended in 2000. She had a rough draft since then and finally, after almost twenty years she found an editor, who is very much interested in working on this project. There were two reasons why Pavla wanted this book about her amazing life published. First, to encourage others who grew up believing they were stupid and had no self confidence to follow their hearts desires and never give up on their dreams.
Second, to possibly raise more funds for our work in Cameroon so many more children could get their education and change the world for better.
