This period of year was marked by a series of events starting with the publication of the end-of-year results and the results of the official examinations, the Stagiaires sans Frontières stay and the partnership with the association called Missions Values. Continuing with the visit of the young people to the Maritime Museum of Douala, through the passages of the Evangelical Assembly of the Brothers of Cameroon and the Clubs of the Lions Club Orchidée & Jouvence. This ends with a few donations involved in preparing for the school year and the actual return of the young people to the school.
The results have fallen and a lot more fear than pain. The young people of the center have overwhelmed their challenges. The common entrance examination was not an easy task to guarantee a place in a public institution for those in primary school. But for the first school living certificate (CEP), it was a 100%. For those in secondary school who were in intermediate classes, we have a success rate of 88%. About Désiré, he finished first in his class with an annual average of 14, 55, an honour’s roll and some textbooks for the next school year. And for those who where in 3ème, we had a success rate of 66%, with two Certificate (BEPC) and two entrance to the next class.
As in the past four years, AGAPE has again welcomed a new wave of Stagiaires Sans Frontières this summer. Namely Charlotte, Mathilde and Fabien, dynamic, motivated and very determined. Committed to helping AGAPE by encouraging meetings with potential partners. And as usual, pleasant moments of exchange and sharing, whereby we try even during holidays, to always combine the useful with the pleasant. This through the revision of small notions of french, Cameroon history, football games, painting, soccer games and many others.
Adama Traore-wega the President of AGAPE association and Arnaud Thomée President of Mission Values association, in full signature of the partnership agreement. Missions Values is an association devoted to the education and training of young people. It brings together a number of organizations and their projects. One of its goals is to raise funds to help its various partners to obtain finances for their projects.
These are the holidays, and Corinne a volunteer teaching french lessons to the young people of the center, decided to offer them this outing. It was marvelous and the young people were able to learn things about boats, training, piloting, survival suits and many more.
L’Assemblée évangélique des frères au Cameroun (AEFC) has set up a camp for the young people of their parish, in order to allow them to visit, meet and exchange with other young people taken in charge by various organizations, associations and orphanages. So they arrived at the AGAPE Center. It was a question of them helping the children and teenagers, to realize how lucky they are compared to others kids; in order to encourage them to cultivate the generosity and the sense of sharing withothers. The young people of the Church interfered for a short time, in the daily life of those of AGAPE.
The various Lions Club clubs usually visit the AGAPE Center. This time, AGAPE had the honor of receiving two Clubs at the same time. These clubs never come empty-handed. And for the occasion, they came with two psychologists to talk to the young people about addictions, drugs and their devastating effects; but also about the role of psychologists, therapies and their abilities to help people in difficulty get better. It was a very enriching moment.
The support given to the Center and its young people by Mrs. Kadji. But also by David and his brother and some young ladies as well for the next school year. They brought school bags, notebooks, rulers and pens. At least, the minimum that a young person needs to go to school.
The young people of the Center are ready for the next nine months of school and especially very determined to repeat or even improve the performance of the last school year.
