Our friends at the charity GMM Africa sent over some shots of the kids at the school in Jinkfuin preparing to go on their summer holidays.

The children, for whom education would be impossible without the work of GMM Africa and the schools it sets up, are preparing for a well-deserved break and have just finished their last exams before they break up. Charity director, Teh Francis wrote to us:

“We thank you for your continual intervention in helping the needy people here as evidenced by your providing a means of transportation for us in the past, sponsorship and starting a sustainable project. Most beneficiaries of your support have been pupils at the elementary school Jinkfuin. They have written their final exams and are prepared for the summer holidays.

We wanted to share some photos with you before they go on holidays. Christina [pictured on the left], our partner in the UK, recently visited the institution and donated a lot of school material. Thank you for all the care you’ve been offering to the disadvantaged people of Africa.”

We at Catalyst Exhibits would like to wish all the wonderful kids and those at GMM Africa, the very best for their well-earned summer vacation.

Some of Cameroon’s budding education projects, led by charity GMM Africa, had a special visitor in recent weeks. Christina Clover, the founder of Commit2Africa, visited Reverend Teh Francis and the kids in Jinkfuin school to see how things are going and to catch up with Irish volunteer Dee Ryan, before she headed back to Ireland. you can see some photos from the visit.

Established in 2010, the registered Commit2Africa charity is funded entirely by donations from businesses and individuals and has concentrated its initial efforts in Cameroon.

The group’s short term goals involve getting sponsors for children in Africa to attend school – from as little as $16 per month. The group also provides donations of food and clothing to those that need it most.

With GMM, Christina and her small team have been working on getting a photocopier over there, as books cost a lot and photocopying them would allow every child to have the right material.

In addition, they have been collecting old computers and sending them over where they are put to good use. Christina also wants to build two new classrooms as the the current school is filled to capacity and more and more and children want to attend.

All of us here at Catalyst Exhibits just want to send our best wishes to Christina and Teh for the work they are doing on the ground in Cameroon and we’re proud to be helping out.
