Quick Update!

CFDP had a great week with a lot of things going on 'behind the scenes'.

The after school sessions are on haitus until school resumes after the holiday break. We are actively planning for a holiday camp to take place in a suburb of Kumba during the next few weeks.

Ngwane Peter has proposed to bring CFDP after school sessions to his community in Nkambe where he is a literature teacher at a government technical high school. Two young adults in the community have VOLUNTEERED their services to help run the sessions. Proposed start-up date in January after holidays!

A good friend of ours, Mr. Atem Eugene, will hold a day-long workshop on HIV Mainstreaming - incorporating education/prevention/awareness tactics into the activities of CFDP. The workshop will take place in Kumba and is tentatively scheduled for December 22nd. Eugene is the National Expert on HIV Mainstreaming in the South West Region for the German Development Service (DED) in Cameroon. He also is the founder and director of Youth Alliance for Democracy and Development (YADD). "Like them on Facebook"

And lastly, we are excited to report that two Americans have made it their mission to collect soccer equipment for those less-proveledged youth in Cameroon!! Emily, a 12 year-old girl from Pittsburgh, has taken this project on as part of her Bat Mitzvah and Skyler, a 17 year-old boy from Washington, D.C. has reached out to his local soccer community as part of his High School Senior Project. More on their stories later...
