By Mbeng Simon | The Director
During this period the Management of Better Family Foundation (BFF) in collaboration with the Authority of Fundong Municipal council organized a training seminar for the council workers and the road construction workers.

The training seminar was attended by over two hundred workers. The participants were trained in different shifts of fifty per session due to COVID-19 safety measures. The training sessions took place on Sunday afternoons and Monday morning.
By the end of the training the workers were very grateful to both the Municipal council authority and Better Family Foundation management. In response, the Management of BFF said their appreciation goes to the donors of the funds through GlobalGiving and the municipal council.
