End HIV/AIDS in 28 Villages in NW Cameroon, Africa

Greetings,

We are very grateful for our supporters and support for our displaced families who are on the run from our homes, villages and communities while this war crisis has been ongoing in the META (English Speaking) part of Cameroon in the NW and SW regions of the country. 

Despite the fact that our families have had to survive many unforseen conditions for the past couple of years with little or no resources, we can today say that we are holding our heads high and praying for the best outcome for our families. The increase in instability of our families have increased the issue of HIV/AIDS in our environment. 

We are happy to report that we have continued to maintain our focus on good health in our place of hiding and in the field by conducting good health talks and training classes and handing out free health packages that are given out to those who are still hiding out in the bushes. 

Because of the hostile climate in the area,  many people are afraid of leaving their hiding place in the bushes for fear that they might be killed. These families have a desperate need for basic medical supplies and food. 

At the beginning of the month of September, the President directed the Prime Minister to begin a dialogue with the victims from the NW and SW region. 

As of this date, we are unaware of any progress in the conditions that existed before the President recommended that there be a conversation to see if the issues which led to the conflict could be resolved. 

As of this report there have been no changes in the conditions that impacted the day to day life style of the families who are displaced and are experiencing more difficulities because of lack of coordinated resources that are basis for human survival which includes opening the schools for our children to attend. 

In some cases, our children have not attended school for the past three years.

We are hopeful that a resolution to the issues which brought about the crisis will be resolved in the very near future in order for our families to return to their villages,homes and communities and continue to grow and develop their lives in a healthy manner and spirit. 

At this time we have a desperate need for basic health supplies as well as upgrade in food and shelter for our families still in hiding  in the bushes and those who are on the run  in the French speaking areas and/or in other border countries.
