Hello everyone, is
Already around another week and I'm already over 5 months in Cameroon. From my classes there is not much new. They run, as in the previous weeks. In the computer hours I have now repeated with the other groups, how to save a document. After last week there have been only 2 of 4 scheduled hours, there were already 3 of 4 this week If this continues, I can hope to take place next week, all hours.
In physical education, students have the 5th class had a test in sprinting. The 6th Class has practiced for the MOC. This is a trial run for the forthcoming June exams. There, the students have practical examination in sports. But they repeated long jump, sprinting and shot put. All a bit improvised, because neither a long jump pit, another Laubahn nor balls are available.
was something special was the Beusch Niels, the world's ward volunteers from Bamenda. He and a friend organized a fundraising concert in Germany. For this turns Niels a film about Cameroon and the individual projects to be supported. After the stations Baham (near Bafoussam) and Limbe on Thursday afternoon he came to Buea, here at the School on Wheels project record. Unfortunately, missing due to communication difficulties with Gerald (who support a Cameroonian friend, Niels in film tour) should the video camera. So it was not possible, the School on Wheels project . Film So we started on Friday with the first films in Buea. After an interview with Mr. Orock (the head of UAC), it went to the new campus in Bwitingi. There will the donations be used. On Saturday for a visit to a orphanage in Buea, which Janna will assist in Limbe. For more information on the concert tour and the film by Niels on it www.helepforchildren.blogspot.com Helepforchildren is a mixture of pidgin English and formal English. Pidgin English is the unofficial national language in the English regions and also in neighboring countries. With only about 300 words the vocabulary is very small. Despite this small number of words, I find it still hard to understand the Pidgin English. Precisely because it is spoken very quickly.
But back to the projects. Together we want to beautify the new campus volunteers, thereby creating a better learning atmosphere. So far, the schoolyard is like a building site even more. To change this we have started the painting project. The yet dirty greyish white painted walls of the school buildings should be painted and colorful, while having the students opportunities to contribute their ideas and build a wall. Together with the Eden Project by Nathan (the volunteer from the UK) aims at a beautiful living space for children to be created where these like to linger and learn. The Eden Project has, firstly, the beautification of school grounds by creating flower beds and lawns to the target. In addition, the children are closer to dealing with nature, by learning the cultivation of vegetables and maintaining the plants and take over this responsibility, and responsibility of the student to the plants.
Another important project is to supply the school with running water. Since the school grounds in Bwitingi far is quite recent, a water supply is lacking. Something like water with the school bus is brought to school. This takes the one significant resources, and provided further that the water in the Morning still not there. This is especially problematic when the students have morning exercise and sweat, but have no way to drink water. On these projects we will work in the coming weeks. This means the time being to operate, especially fundraising. So far I have not already done so. Let's see how it goes.
last few weeks is updated, the site of UAC and in a design online. An Italian volunteer who was in January for a few weeks here have been working on the website and those are equal translated into Italian. You can find the website of UAC under www.unitedactionforchildren.org Once the site is already bilingual, we also want to a German language version to offer.
With all this extra work, I can fill my freedom I hope very well. The only problem might be that there are usually rather short free spaces in which are not really worth starting a job. We'll see.
Finally, I have some photos (instead of the movie) from the School on Wheels project on Thursday. Since the week before the project has failed due to the slump, it was this week at the end some sweets for the children who could be undertaken by the donations of Linn and to encourage the children to come to continue the project. They have very happy and enjoyed the cookies and drinks. Here are some photos
from Bonakanda:
I hope you are doing well and you have a nice weekend
Regards Jannik
