Today we went to a school in Bomongo Gare and distributed 350 bedkits to students from the school as well as children from the local village. It was another very hot and humid day but “everyday is like this” said our driver, Roger. Cameroon is a bilingual country just like Canada but the area where we are staying is primarily French-speaking. My high school French teacher would be pleased to hear me speaking French each day (although I am far from fluent). The children and staff seem to appreciate that I am trying my best to communicate. As always, a handshake, high five, thumbs up and big smile are the universal language of communication and friendship. I will always treasure those interactions with the children.
Tomorrow is our last day and we will be off to one more school to distribute another 350 bedkits before we fly home tomorrow night.
