The AGAPE Center and its youth had a series of important events during this second quarter of the year. Between the accession to higher education and success at official exams, the fair organized by Soleil Partage Cameroun, the charity cocktail of Zik 4 All (Save the Music), the performance of the theatrical play at the Goethe Institute in Yaoundé and The spring market to name just a few.
The AGAPE association collaborates with other associations and organizations. This is the case of the Soleil Partage Cameroon association, which fights against poverty and militates in favor of sustainable development. The association is currently working on the rehabilitation of ‘‘L’école publique des Garçons de Bonapriso''. To this end, several meetings were held, with the participation of AGAPE, to organize the fund-raising fair to continue the project. The young people of the Center AGAPE were thus put to contribution on May 3, playing the role of monitors of the various workshops during the fair at the American school of Douala. We were able to appreciate a great sense of responsibility on their part.
Among the extra-curricular activities offered to the young people of the AGAPE Center, we have music classes. The association Zik 4 All, which volunteers these courses, wanted to celebrate the AGAPE Center and the New Destiny Orphanage, as well as all the young people to whom they teach music courses. This is done through the Save the Music event, punctuated by various musical performances by young learners and young Cameroonian artists. The aim is to sensitize both to the cause of the sensitive layers and to generate their generosity for the support of the two organizations and their projects.
Finally the 17 June! The big day arrived for the AGAPE centre youth. Because winning the discovery prize in the theatre category, they went to Yaoundé and it was at the Goethe Institute that they performed their play. It was a short but pleasant two-day stay in the political capital of the country. The youth were exceptional and their remarkable acting touched the audience. Some people even confided that they acted as well as, if not better, than professionals. They were able to share some pure moments of happiness during which they were able to strengthen the bonds that unite them. And it was, above all, an extraordinary experience that will remain forever in their memories. These youth are definitely ready for a national and international tour!

The AGAPE Centre took part in the spring market on 3rd June in the Eneo gardens in Bonanjo. AGAPE had a stand and displayed its various products (chips, ‘‘foléré/bissap’’ and baobab juice….) and much more. It was also the opportunity to talk about the association, the centre and its activities.
The holidays have begun and it’s time to breathe, have fun and say goodbye to the pressure of the last nine months in the classroom. It is with this in mind that Julie, a professional hairdresser and owner of a hair salon in France, offered to come and cut the youth hair on 12 June, giving free rein to their imagination. Julie also showed her support for the centre by organising a hairdressing day, at the end of which the profits were donated to the AGAPE Centre.
On the 12th June, Barakah got a year older and she wanted to share this happy moment by spending a part of her day with the AGAPE youth. In the same week, she decided on 17 June, to make the music video for the song ‘‘Je m’accroche à lui’’. It was a great day of filming and everybody was able to see that making a music video is not as simple as it looks, with it needing many takes. All in all, everybody was happy.
