Educating children in Cameroon is not easy and despite the good intentions of the government, there is a great lack of resources and trained staff.

At Catalyst Exhibits, we’ve been helping GMMAfrica provide a vital educational service, by funding motorbikes that get teachers to remote villages and also raise money as taxis to better fund the education services they offer to a large number of under privileged children that have nowhere else to turn.

Teh Francis, in his regular updates, has been letting us know what’s been happening there.

“I promised to send across some photos to help update you on the work going on here. We love doing it this way because your contributions have helped spark off so many activities that have a  huge impact on the lives of very needy children.

Our friends in Cameroon, GMM Africa, have been putting the donation from Bekins Van Lines to good work in recent weeks. The donation is being used to help sponsor more children for the badly needed educational program there. Teh Francis has been in touch to update us about what’s been happening out there.

“We are excited to keep updating you on the progress of the work in Cameroon. This is because you are so important to us and your continual intervention is vital so that the needy children receive our help.

The donation we got from Bekins, arranged by you at Catalyst Exhibits, will act as a stabilizer for our child sponsorship program. Before this, children had to wait on our list for a long time before they ever got a sponsor or sponsorship, but this time, the neediest child receives immediate attention even before a sponsor comes in to help….”
