Dear all,
We are sorry to be reporting late due to the absence of network.
We have continued with home base training around Taking which has been very successful.
We are hoping for peace to return so that full schools can resume as much as possible.
We are able to have resources for this training through this GlobalGiving funds. Really appreciate the little that is being offered for the Taking project and making sure that it is being put to use.
The last quarter has been a busy one because it involved assessment of the program and looking forward for promoting those that have done.
I am glad that our resource persons have continued to do thier work deligently.
May God bless all the supporters of this project.

Dear Cheerrful supporters and well wishers,
You are again welcome to the update of the project. Cameroon is still going through a lot of crises in connection to the Anglohpone crises where this project is based.
Takijah is about half a kilometer from the Ring Road and at this moment, the Road has been blocked by the separatist and only the military is using the road. As such the road is significantly the battle ground where by Takijah is badly affected. Military gets into this village frequently and alot of killings, burning of houses and properties including loating had made most of the villagers to flee for their safety.
At the time of writing this report the villagers have moved further in to the bushes and we are following them up to where they are, just to see what we can do to help their children have some basic literacy, moral and social upbringing.
We are glad to report that the already constructed school structure has not been burnt like other schools in this part of the country which have been burnt. This structure remain safe and we pray that if peace comes back, all the children will get back to school without any problem.
We have continured to have hope for peace to return so that normal school activities should resume. We reall need your humanitarian supporot to help us support these children in one way or the orther may be by ensuring that the school is well furnished as soon as the peace comes back as soon as possible. This is because the internationbal community has got and shown a lot of concern to intervene for peace to return.
May God bless you as you synmpathize with us and equally send us more support.

Dear all,
We regret to post this report late and would like to explain that it was because of the deteriorating situation of the crises in this part of the country where we are based. For the past two months we had no Electricity and with the hanging up in the subborbs and bushes because of the situation, we did not have access to be able to write a report.
However, we are glad to report that Takijah happened to be in the village and after the buring, many families that were internally displaced are struggling to come back. Those who were not affected and are always on the run when the military is coming are doing well with their kids.
To help continue with the education of the young ones, we have continued quarter home studies where these children are grouped and assigned to a local teacher. Home classes have continued as you can see children at home being drilled and they play.
The general schoooling atmosphere is not very safe because soldiers enter any village at any time and killing, raping and loating has become the other of the day.
We are trying to keep up the project with a lot of care and making sure that the children are not expossed to danger.
The figinting between the separates and goverment forces have continued for the past three years resulting to to no regular schooling. So we are really praying for back to school campaign by both national and international bodies to succeed for the government to create a conducieve environment for schools to resume.
This new appraoch of spreading quarter home classes is very expensive to run becuase we have involved more guadiance and also a lot of counselling to parents and children.
We are very glad to thank you for helping this project up to this level and hopefully we shall complete.
May God bless every one as we strongly request for your prayers regarding our situation.

Dear all,
It is very regretable that up till now schools have not resumed in this part of the country because of the War. Takijah happened to be along the Ring road where the battle is taking place weekly. Almost all the people of Takijah have fled to neighboring villages while some are in Nigeria as refregees.
How ever, every one can not leave the village. The left overs whose compounds were not destroyed and of course who were not along the mainroad have continued to live therein.
As such, we are intensifying our house to house basic education programme. We are seriously looking forward for normalcy to return even though the Government is speaking much about the dialogue but emphasising on the armed separaties to lay down their weapons first and the separated have refused because they doubt their security.
Also, the total quest for indepence of the Southern Cameroon has remained the forcus of the separaties and until their problem is solved, there is no security sending children to school. Teachers are not also safe to teach even if the pupils are there.
We are trying to help this children in any way possible.
May God bless our supporters.
Dear all, Once more, accept special Christmass greetings from Cameroon. I am glad to report that the crises which was charactised by road blocks and none movment of Vehicles is almost calm. We are now ready to complet the work and send to you guys the final report if atall we reach the goal before the due date for the next report.
We are getting set for schools to reopened in January and the structures are being improved to receive them after staying at home for 3 good years.
We are expecting a very high enrolement into Nursery one and two because those who could have been in school in the last two years will be addmitted.
We will appreciate who ever will give us a final push to this project so that in our next disbursement we will be able to complet the project and write a final report with the final pictures of the school.
Please this is the highest time to help us in Cameroon as many of the children have been orphaned by the Anglophone crises.
Let your heart be touched so that you can give us a final support to this project. I would also like to say that for those of you who have supported this project in the past, can equally help share this project in your groups, friends and companies to support your cause.
May God continue to bless you.
