Thank you Ann, for your donation of US$ 20.
These ladies will buy twain, crochet hats and sell them. With the money they can buy oil and send children to school. They also have to teach other village women and expand the activity.


AIDSfreeAFRICA Fashion Center” for short “AIDS FACE”

It was made possible through a donation of US $1200 from “Out&About”, a Rockland County New York based women’s group, see upper left picture.

Women in Weh Cameroon bought a sewing machine and fabric to sew 800 school uniforms (lower left). And that’s only the beginning. Profit made is used to buy food or exercise books and pencils for students. Rather than giving members money, they pay expenses for birth and dead celebrations. Most important for AIDSfreeAFRICA, they pay for antiretroviral treatment and drugs for HIV/AIDS positive members. The start of this program came too late for Linda, but four other woman are successfully on drugs and are thriving. (see picture upper right) The Lady on the far left is Ann, the president of "Managing Women".
And a new project is in the infancy stage. We are asking for your donations. The Fon (chief) of Weh asked for help to establish a cooking oil depot and sales point. The profit made from the sales, after expenses will be used to pay for AIDS testing of his subjects. Truly innovative. So far every Fon has asked us for help building roads. And yes, they need roads urgently. Any construction people reading this?

OUR NEW PROJECT : PLEASE CONSIDER SENDING A DONATION

AIDSfreeAFRICA gave US$20 to ACTWIND a women’s organization in Bamenda Cameroon. The money is used to generate an income for HIV/AIDS positive women though selling of grilled fish on street markets. (Picture soon to come). 

"A child is only your child as long as it is in your belly, thereafter it is everyone's". This is the African translation of Hillary Clinton's:" It takes a village to raise a child" I found orphans in every household. The children are taken care of, they are the countries future. One teacher told me: "We want the children to understand how to deal with AIDS, how to stay negative and become AIDS free parents. We old folks we will not change our habits, but the children they must survive." Indeed I found these children to be better educated on AIDS prevention than most of their parents and grandparents. They know where it comes from and what are ways to transmit the disease and how to avoid transmission. Truly inspiring.

We are looking for sponsors to help with micro loans so schools can expand and built more class rooms, hire more teachers and buy school books. Government run schools are poorly managed thus it is worth supporting private initiatives such as the dilicig primary and nursery school. See also our volunteer section for ways to come to Cameroon and help teach computer skills.

Testimonial from a Cameroonian nurse, widow, raising her own three children and another three orphans from relatives. In exchange she was able to keep her husbands house. Often wifes who become widdows are forced out of the house or to marry the husbands brother. Women who have an education and their own financial income like P. are better off. A woman looses all rights to her husband the moment she marries. Don't even think of asking for protected sex, planned parenthood or freedom from abuse.
 
Dear Rolande,
 
It’s a pleasure writing to you from Cameroon.  How was your journey back home?  I hope it was fine and safe.  In fact, the kids have been longing to see you again especially the little one you brought her a present.  This little girl presented to her grand mother the present you gave her and told her that she has a mother who is a white, and will be coming back to Cameroon to take her to Europe one day.  Whenever this little girl takes that book you gave her she always talks about you.  She has colored all the pictures in the book.
 
I met Suh Eunice in the School (Divine Liberation Nursery and Primary School Alakuma in Bamenda) and the kids told me that they have a mother whom they are praying for her to discover medicines that can treat their parents who are dying of HIV/AIDS;  they are praying strongly for you.
 
Please I still count on you for that project.
I end so far.
I thank you for the concern you have for my family in particular and my country in general.
Stay blessed.  I wish you all the best in life.  God bless you.
 
P.
