Michael and Margaret Asbury visit HINT from England

December 8, 2006 by Genesis Leave a Comment

Michael and Margaret Astbury (parents of Heather Margaret Talbot, currently volunteering with HINT in Buea, Cameroon) recently visited HINT and some parts of Cameroon November 20 to December 2 2006.

During their time here, we were able to show them around some of our projects including our ICT Training Centre in Bonduma, and a building we have already acquired to host a Community Health Centre and a Community Education Library. We also visited the three Pilot Schools we will be working with on the Library/Literacy Project.

Michael & Margaret Astbury attend Woodbridge Quay Church and you can contact them through the Church’s website to learn more about opportunities in Cameroon to serve or to support. You may also contact us directly for more information on volunteering and support.

Caroline Fuseau of Computer Aid UK, visits HINT

June 17, 2004 by Genesis Leave a Comment

Caroline Fuseau, Africa Program Officer for Computer Aid International (CAI) visited HINT on June 17, 2004 so as to have first hand information on the progress of the ComICT Centre Project. During her visit, she was accompanied by Tinshu Genesis Gemuh, President of HINT Cameroon and Project Director to some government and private services including the Teachers’ Resource Centre, Provincial Delegation of Education, among others. Her visits culminated in a meeting with over 30 leaders of NGOs, schools, and community organizations interested in using computers in their work. By the time she left Buea, she was deeply satisfied by the work that had been done on the ComICT Centre project and announced that Computer Aid will be willing to help ship the computers needed for the ComICT Centre Project if HINT Cameroon will only provide shipping and handling charges.

CAI is the world’s leading donor of refurbished computers to the developing world. Their goal is to help bridge the digital divide.

There are photos available of caroline’s visit.
