Women committed to planting trees
Greetings To Our Donors, Supporters and Sponsors;
Our Women Empowerment Leadership Department has been very busy either planning or leading training session for our women at our BHO headquarters. At JRCCA Guest House (GH) our new Executive Director in Zone 1 and SNT and Zone Director and focus group leaders at the World Head Quarter "JRCCA AMERICAN CORNER in Kwojeoh Tuseh Zang-Tabi TAAH META NWR promised "never to allow the GH be dormant". Some share the ideal of combating climate change with planting trees. Rising Momo River that flows into the Atlantic Ocean that flows down to Florida in USA. These workshops have included training in health and sanitation as well as how to prepare a traditional meal which will help them to start up a small restaurant to earn a living. Our traininng also included how to write a petit project with strategies to start a small business. Training also included health education that will hopefully lead to the reduction of diseases that are impacting the health of our population. The Women Empowerment Department will be supporting and working with its IDP Director who will be organizing a workshop from the cultural department on how to produce an authentic traditional dress with a case study called “Danshiki”. Many of our women and girls cannot afford to pay a fee to attend these workshop or cover the cost of materials needed for the training and workshop. Your donations and support goes a long way in helping our organization to stay afloat and assist these women to be a part of these training and workshop. Thank you for your donations! On October 4, 2022, we welcomed three New Members into JRCCA in Zone 5 ( One from BaliTribe, NWR, one from Bakossi Tribe in SWR and One from Moghamo) in Douala, Cameroon. On October 7, 2022, we received a new member from Zone 5 in Yaounde, a student graduate from the Catholic University in Buea.
The Women Empowerment Department submitted the following as their report: On September 8th, we started by updating and reminding everyone on policies and procedures of JRCCA in which we posted on the forums "Here, we learn, teach and share ideas. We also have Our SNT and Regular Business Meeting every Tuesdays and Wednesdays respectively. You are invited to attend. Open to the public. Our JRCCA NGO Staff and volunteers at Branch Head Office (BHO) in collaboration with our sister Organization in Tyrone , Georgia , USA , JRFIUSA 501(C)(3) world HQ in Tyrone, scheduled and met with the Representative from the Ministry of Social Services at BHO office in Yaoundé during an Educational, training and awareness workshop. This was an opportunity that gave everyone the chance to have frank and open discussion with the representative who advised us on how to ensure that our NGO is registered with DO of District 6 Yaounde and we are working on a partnership collaboration with other ministries like Basic Education etc. The Workshop ended with a Q&A and was well attended. Great meeting and assistance from the Ministry of Social Services in Yaounde Cameroon. JRCCA Team Presented its Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives, its Structure, flow chart made up of 5 zones focused on helping on working with indigeneous people in remote villages and communities in all 5 Zones . Bottom line is to create Jobs and Employment to help combat hunger, promote food security and serve on health and sanitation projects to make life better for all.
The JRCCA Women Empowerment Team at BHO has also joined with Rotarians in Yaoundé and JRFIUSA in the USA to create a Satellite International Rotary Club in Nsimbock. The JRCCA/JRFIUSA Team is also working with the Garden, a group of good people from the Sillicon Valley in the great State of California USA to ensure that JRCCA NGO enforces all it's policies and procedures to include the enforcement of discipline measure on any one who breach the peace and order reigning in the JRCCA NGO which is an auxiliary of the Cameroon Government. After our deliberation with the BHO Team, we contacted the Secretary at the Social Service Center of the Social Affairs Ministry. . He told HRD Monday 12th was good and that as he had told us, we are to take charge of his transport and report typing fee. The Secretary was overwhelmed with our vision, Mission and objectives. He further encouraged us to get a particular tagged in which we will be working with and he said he will be there to assist us in everything to see that we are on track as required by his Ministry. To the fact that we need to visit the Authorities here in Yaoundé 6, it was recommended that we go through our Acknowledgment receipt by the SDO.
On September 18th, our Women Empowerment Leadership Team received leadership training from JRFIUSA Partners. We had a Great training session with JRCCA Volunteers to include assistant Housing Manager at BHO, assistant Zone 1 Director, Zone 5 Youths and Sports Director and the Chairman of JRFIUSA. Through such training members are more uplifted and prepared to carry out their task especially Moderation of Meetings and becoming informed on the Background about JRCCA and how to write SMART Goals with Action steps etc. Takeaway from our training of the day is to give back to others what we have learned and always organize training like this which will encourage members to participate and grow in all ways of life. We must never forget that women in our 28 villages have rights in Cameroon, Africa.
Our Women Empowerment Leadership Group will be participating in our annual Thanksgiving celebration which is an event that is Celebrated in the USA annually every 24th of November and now it is being implemented here at JRCCA and in our 5 zones with indigeneous people in Cameroon. Thanks to our sponsors and sister organization JRFIUSA. Also, Toys for Tots (TFT) will be celebrated in December as we receive gifts from our Sponsors and Sister organization JRFIUSA for our kids in our churches. This event is being carried out throughout all the 5 zones that we serve and this year we will be working with pastors to ensure that we get with all our JRCCA volunteers in the lowest levels in each Zones to include the JRCCA World HQ Guest House American Corner in Kwojeoh Tuseh TAAH META MOMO Division NWR Cameroon, Africa. We're encouraging our women and girls to always join us during our sustainable Education, training, and cultural Awareness leadership Training when announced more especially our Zone Directors (ZDs) including our affiliates in Liberia, DRC etc. As in America, we have many things to be grateful for in our communities and villages despite the ghost days and lock down days. Our women and girls can get hands on leadership experiences by participating in these trainings and events from our women leaders.
Pastors and Leaders must sign request in writing to participate with number of participants by October 1, 2022. This year we will be extending the program to Liberia, Zambia and DRC who are our new Affilliates in Africa as well as the Toys for Tots for children in Churches. JRCCA would appreciate any donations however small to ensure that these families will enjoy a hot meal on Thanksgiving Day despite the ongoing civil conflicts because more and more families have gotten frustrated that the confilct which involved many innocent people has lasted so long without a resolution and they have decided to return to their home in their villages in Cameroon in spite of the latest announcement by the State Department that the NW/SW Regions are still unsafe due to armed separatist activities which has led to increased levels of violence.
The JRCCA/JRFIUSA Women Empowerment Leadership Team received good new from the JRCCA Barrister in which he announced during our meeting that JRCCA NGO Cameroon has been recommended to be accorded the status of SPECIAL Consultative Status at the UN this fall and this will be a major topic in the 3rd edition of the JRCCA NGO Newsletter to be published by October 1, 2022. In this regard we wish to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to the chairman and president of the joint boards, not forgetting all those who made it possible for the vision and mission of our founding father and patriarch of JRCCA and his successor to be actualized; and may his soul continue to rest in perfect peace. And to Him is the glory". The Chairman of JRFIUSA did an outstanding presentation on the good news from the legal department, clearly stating exactly the importance of JRCCA being granted/accorded the Special Consultative Status at the UN. The chairman also in his presentation, presented some background pictures of the Guest House (World's Head Quarter) in Zang-Tabi Taah Meta Momo Division NWR Cameroon Africa, picture of the village library and picture of some Government officials who visited the guest house. Also there are current pictures of members at the BHO who received the Representative from the social service center of the Social Affair Ministry with picture of the new Pastor/ED at the Guest House/WHQ etc who has demonstrated by his actions that he has plans to include our women in the renovation and redevelopment of the Guest House as the Center for the growth of families in our villages. Women and girls will be accorded the opportunity to participate in skill development training programs at the Guest House Center such as basic education and other opportunities offered by the UN.
In conclusion, our Women Empowerment Leadership Team is still growing in our ability to help families who were displaced because of the Civil War more than five years ago, which is still ongoing. Our vision is to support our families as they choose to return to their villages and home and begin a new life free of stress from being on the run for fear of being killed if they had stayed in their villages or homes. Despite the unsafe and unhealthy conditions we are committed to make a difference in the lives of our families and friends especially our women and girls. Thank you for your donations and support which helps us to carry out our mission and vision.
Sincere Appreciation,
JRCCA Women Empowerment Leadership Team
