The Elementary School of Bameto Bansoa in west Cameroon was founded in 1973. The parents are so poor they cannot even maintain the infrastructure.
I am the first generation of that school, and I was so blessed to end up in the USA where I serve as a Registered Nurse.
Few years back my family and friends started sponsoring the school by providing tuition assistance and supplies to the kids, as well as helping with the teachers salary (20 dollars is the monthly salary of a teacher). This year, with the generosity of friends, colleagues and people of goodwill, we have organized the first ever award ceremony of the school. The ceremony itself was a great success. Every child received some kind of reward ranging from books, pencils and pens to full tuition.
However, the heartbreaking part of the trip is the collapsing schoolhouse. The back wall of the building is collapsing making it so unsafe for the upcoming school year. Wellwater4kids Inc is the Non-profit organization that is helping the school at this moment. With the urgent need of a safe place, we have launched a facebook fundraiser on my personal page https://www.facebook.com/mathieu.takam to help solve this urgency. https://www.facebook.com/donate/1948951235351162/.
For more videos on the school please visit our youtube page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD9MNb_XG-fu9Tw4ePNSM5g.
For a tax deductible contribution visit desk4kids.com or wellwater4kids.org . 100% of your donation will serve the purpose as we have no paid staff.
Thank you and stay blessed.
