Talk show Radio Programme
By Mbeng Simon Nsah | The Director
Since the last report Better Family Foundation (BFF) has been busy on the field with HIV/AIDS-sex education programmes over the local radio networks. Regrettably, we could not submit the report on time due to internet cut in the English Speaking regions of the country due to socio-political crisis in this part of the country.
HIV/AIDS/ Sex education programmes were organized twice each week. During such programs HIV/AIDS prevention programmes, the radio pannalists interacted with the community in this domain and on sex education issues.
In deed the program won the admiration and intervention of many community members. During each session, many questions and answers were raised and discuussed by the pannalists. The program is believed to be yielding many fruits as many people kept giving BFF Management a lot of positive feedback.
BFF Management wishes to appreciate all those who have contributed in any way towards the realization of these activities.

Communty campaign on the use of condoms
By Mbeng Simon Nsah | The Director
During the last period Better Family Foundation undertook a campaign on community use of both male and female condoms in order to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS in Fundong and its environes. To realize this, BFF management bought both male and female codoms and deplored its staff to get down to the field and sensitize the local community on the importnce of condom usage.
By so doing, many myths surrounding the acquisition and use of condom were dismystified and hundreds of community members including youth became interested in the use of both types of condoms during sexual intercourse. Many condoms were distributed to the people and the people were equally directed to all condom vendors in the community. Follow up at the level of condom vendors shows that many people are now buying condoms more than ever before.
BFF authorities wishes to thank all who in any way have contributed towards the realization of the campaign project,

New Approaches in Our Planning
By Stephen Cormier on behalf of Mbeng Simon | Former Peace Corps Volunteer and the Director
HIV/AIDS remains an issue in our community here in Fundong. It continues to be a taboo subject and is often not spoken of in many Kom households. Better Family Foundation (BFF) is always trying to think of new ways to change these realities.
We're very excited for the arrival of a new Peace Corps Volunteer who is working often with BFF. Together with this Volunteer BFF is exploring ways to better collaborate with the Fundong Health Center (hospital) to conduct more genuine and meaningful outreach and education through this well established medical institution. As we continue to plan and explore we will certainly keep you updated with our developments.
Another avenue of outreach that we are planning is targeting our local churches. Fundong has many churches and we are developing a systemized plan to engage these churches to see about sharing important information-- maybe even from the pulpit. Promoting HIV testing and prevention messaging through churches could be a very powerful way to allow more room for conversations related to HIV/AIDS. We equally excited to keep you posted with these developments as our planning continues.
Lastly, on our recent trips to Bamenda, our nearby regional capital city, we have been struggling to secure both male and female condoms to distribute from our office and during our workshops. We have been able to purchase a good amount but are eager to purchase more so we will be better stocked and well suited to provide these to the community.
We thank you again, deeply, for your continued support to HIV/AIDS work here in Fundong, Cameroon.
