More Grief

The Nation of Cameroon continues in the struggle ! It is hard to fathom some of the recent events taking place in now fourth year of the civil crisis. A few days a ago the opposition soldiers massacred 22 people , women , children , pregnant women and dumped them in a mass grave. This happened at night when people were sleeping. Some where burnt alive and others shot as they attempted to run
Such gruesome acts of violence is now common place in the English speaking regions.

While we focus on surviving children of such catastrophes , we cannot help but think of all who have been affected.  We ask for your prayers and support for those currently in these regions and for peace to come to the country at large.

Thanks

Still on the mission !

Greetings after sometime. The internet corrupted our blog and files, took sometime to recover some portions of it.
Thanks for your patience if you stopped by and check on us. We appreciate you.

The nation of Cameroon where we predominantly do outreach work , has been having a lot of political problems , leading to civil crisis in the affected regions.

Needless to say this brings about several children in need of health and daily sustainability.
Parents and kids have been displaced as a result of killings, burning of homes and general destruction of the living quarters and daily life activities.
FOADAC is partnering with other NGOs to provide assistance in the form of food , clothing, shelter, medical needs and much more. In such difficult times , we are asking for your help in any way possible that you can afford.

This past holiday season we were able to provide some much needed food to many families. Thank you for making that possible.

Please feel free to leave comments or ask questions about anything you will like to know about.
email us at ( foadac@yahoo.com ) , also on Twitter , Facebook and on Instagram. You can also visit our website at www.foadac.org.

DECEMBER 1st is World's AIDS DAY

# Do you know your status ?
# Please get tested
# Support those living with the disease
# Speak against stigmatization.

Join us on December 1st to continue the fight against new infection!

When living in fear becomes a normal way of life !!

The people of  Cameroon at large are not living their best lives, but those in the English speaking regions are under siege. We hope and pray for the crisis to be resolved with a positive solution for all involved.
When a nation is in civil crisis, the children suffer the most. It is now common for kids to see their parents being killed or wounded by gun men. Some of the kids themselves risk being killed and or handicapped.

As an advocate for children , I can only imagine the work that will need to be done , in order for them to have some semblance of family live , housing , food , health, , education , vocations or even careers.

help is needed to tackle each of these aspects of daily living.
FOADAC is looking into how we can help families that have been displaced , living in the bushes for safety. I'll be back to give you more information on that.
Stay tuned.

Blessings to you and yours.

"CRY MY BELOVED COUNTRY"

The nation of Cameroon has been going through  a civil crisis for past two years now.
 Unfortunately, things are only getting worse. I hope and pray it doesn't get any worse.

International news outlet are only touching on the surface of the issue, others have made an attempt to bring to light the genocide that is happening. It is also sad to note that no help can be expected from the International bodies responsible for crisis.

The whole nation has to be wiped out like in the case of Rwanda , before aid will arrive.
There is an African proverb that says "When two elephants fight , the grass suffers" This directly relates to the kids who will be left behind after all their parents have been killed by opposing forces.

This type of killings should not be happening in modern times.
Please pray for my nation.


Thanks

Support Group !

Hello readers out there.
I have attended several meetings in recent time talking about the progress that has been made in the world of HIV/AIDS.

One thing keeps coming up, and that is  the fact that people living with the disease still have to deal with stigmatization.
 This is a big problem everywhere but especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. Despite all the progress that has been made with medicine , people still refuse to go get treatment for fear of identification.

because patients are being ostracized , I feel the need to have a support group for folks in this region.
I am hoping to get people informed , build their self esteem and simply make them feel human again.

For those that are caregivers , we should lead my example , showing love and support to family members , friends and the community at large. I know there are several support/focus groups out there, but I wanted to tailor this to care givers and just the general public.

My question to you is , do you think this will be a good idea? 
Your response , questions  and comments will be greatly appreciated.
