Update on Emergency Funds For Displaced Families

By Giddy, Stella, Celine Dr. Sam | Team leaders

Greetings To Our Donors and Supporters;

Great News; We are beginning to see evidence that our IDPs are returning to the land and homes that they fled from in the English speaking NW Region in Cameroon. Working in collaboration with JRCCA in Cameroon, they have begun to develop "NEW ORGANIC FARMING" The three phrases for the planting of the JRCCA's Organic Farm at Benguela has been completed within due time for the planting season.

Our President expressed gratitude and appreciation for the leadership, dedication and hard work that was displayed by all of the contracts and volunteers who despite many challenges including the weather and condition of the soil was able to get the job done. This project will put a smile on many faces and some economical cash in their pockets.

Will you help us grow this organic farm where some of the products will be shared under our food security program with IDPs and Women Empowerment volunteers and some will be sold at the market to raise funds to help defray the cost of this and other humanitarian projects by JRCCA under our Vocational Skills and Training Program On the Job Training which will give them a choice to help sustain their recovery from a way of life of being on the run in many situations for nothing that they were involved. Our Chairman expresses his concerns and sees this peace building project as a way to build bridges for the IDPs so that they will be able to return to their homes and homeland as a results of the crisis. We hope to work with other international groups to collaborate and offer resources that will help them to become independent home owners and farmers once again in a troubled land.

All donations big or small will benefit our humanitarian cause. Kudos to our Honorable Humanitarian Ambassador who supported this project with her donations, wisdom and guidance for our JRCCA Team. Another example of our people returning to their own villages was reported by our JRCCA President who reported that the meeting with the Bee Farmers was successful and that they will be meeting again in 30 days. Bee Farmers have requested the use of JRCCA's land on the site of the Foundation Stone to expand the development of Bee Farming as performed by our founder the late Pa John. MOU is in progress to make this request happen between the Bee Farmers and JRCCA at the Guest House and Vocational Tech Training Center in Zang-Tabi, Cameroon, Africa.

JRCCA's President also shared the request by the President of the Promise Land NGO for her organization to develop a MOU with JRCCA to share land for use by her organization called the Promise Land NGO to cultivate the December food crops. Our Board Chairman suggested to the President that she should write SMART GOALS and ACTION STEPS for this request and present to our VP who is in chage for formatting proposals prior to submitting her request on Tuesday SNT for discussion and motion to be approved on Wednesday Biz Meeting.

Our Chairman also recommended that she find a lawyer in Bamenda or Yaounde to assist her with drawing up the MOU Agreement between JRCCA and the Promise Land Organization.

Chairman and Presidents of JRCCA and President of JFRIUSA reminds everyone to stay focused and stay on task and to uphold and follow all JRCCA's policies and procedures. Ensure to set weekly, monthly SMART GOALS and ACTION STEPS, attend all meetings, complete activity log and end of the month report. Posting pictures and videos are accepted ways to demonstrate weekly and monthly progress reporting of what you are doing to support the humanitarian goals and objectives of JRCCA. We can and will achieve more progress for our independent IDPs in Cameroon, Africa with affiliates in Ghana and Liberia.

Kudos to our International VP and Women Empoweerment leader ffrom Accura, Ghana for the outstanding work that she is doing with her Women Empowerment Group in Ghana which is now an affiliate of JRCCA in Cameroon, Africa. She is providing her Women Groups with Vocational Tech Training in the areas of cooking and farming. We are looking forward to our VP for Women Empowerment in Ghana to extend her program to Cameroon and Liberia. Never Give Up - Onward, Upward and Forward-2024-25. Developing these programs in Africa requires funding. It would be appreciated if you our donors and supporters will respond to this report by sending a donation to help us defray the administrative cost of providing services for these individuals. No amount is too large or too small. We are grateful for any support that you can give to us to help us carry out our humanitarian mission to provide food and security for IDPs in the English speaking NW Region in Cameroon.

Kind Regards,

IDP Team Members

One motion was Approved.

Motion approved on January 10, 2024 for everyone who wishes to participate in the GRGP in Cameroon to comply with the recommendation from President Agnes, Etoile Rotary Club, Yaounde Cameroon. Prior to our Biz meeting we attended our Tyrone Rotary Club meeting with our affiliates members in Cameroon, and Liberia,

Below are some important takeaways from my meeting that I thought we all could benefit from.

Setting goals for 2024 and uncovering productivity secrets to build a business involves a thoughtful and strategic approach.

Here are some steps to consider:

1. Reflect on Your Vision: Begin by reflecting on your long-term vision for your business. What do you hope to achieve by 2024? Consider both quantitative and qualitative goals such as revenue targets, market expansion, product development, and brand positioning.

2. SMART Goals: Once you have a clear vision, break it down into specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. For example, if you aim to increase revenue, specify the exact percentage or monetary target you want to reach by the end of 2024.

3. Prioritize Goals: Not all goals are equally important. Prioritize your goals based on their impact on your business growth and sustainability. Identify the key areas that need improvement or expansion and focus on setting goals in those areas.

4. Create an Action Plan: Develop a detailed action plan for each goal. Outline the specific steps, resources, and timelines required to achieve them. This may involve marketing strategies, product development, operational improvements, or financial planning.

5. Track Progress: Establish systems to track your progress towards each goal. Regularly review your performance against the set targets and make adjustments as needed.

This could involve weekly, monthly, or quarterly check-ins to assess progress.

Uncovering Productivity Secrets:

1. Time Management: Effective time management is crucial for productivity. Identify your most productive hours and allocate them to high-priority tasks. Use tools like calendars, to-do lists, and time-blocking techniques to manage your time efficiently.

2. Delegation: As a business owner, learn to delegate tasks that can be handled by others. Trusting your team and empowering them to take on responsibilities can free up your time to focus on strategic activities.

3. Continuous Learning: Stay updated with industry trends and best practices. Invest in learning opportunities such as workshops, courses, or reading relevant literature to enhance your skills and knowledge.

4. Streamline Processes: Regularly review your business processes to identify inefficiencies and streamline operations. Automate repetitive tasks where possible and implement systems that improve workflow.

5. Work-Life Balance: Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is essential for sustained productivity. Ensure you schedule time for self-care, relaxation, and spending quality time with family and friends.

6. Networking and Collaboration: Build a strong network within your industry and seek opportunities for collaboration. Networking can lead to valuable partnerships, new ideas, and business growth.

By setting clear goals for 2024 and implementing productivity secrets within your business, you can pave the way for sustainable growth and success in the coming years. Remember that flexibility and adaptability are also key components of achieving long-term goals in a dynamic business environment.
