NOW ACCEPTING VOLUNTEERS!

June 5, 2015 by Jessa Coleman Leave a Comment

VolunteerWorldWho wants to join us in Cameroon?

If you’re looking for a rewarding experience, a new adventure, an eye-opening summer, or an educational year, look no further than Helps International. We are currently (and always) accepting volunteers to manage a myriad of projects in health, education, IT, and microfinance. Our programs support the local community of Buea and its environs.

Buea, Cameroon is located in the Southwest Province, one of two Anglophone provinces in Cameroon. Francophone Douala is a mere hour by car, as is the seaside town of Limbe. Discover African culture, fall sleep beneath stunning sunsets, hike an active volcano, explore the metropolis of Douala, and enjoy the vibrant life of Cameroon! Most importantly, spend your summer (or two week vacation… or year….) working to build a better world.

HINT has recently partnered with VolunteerWorld, a German organization that sources volunteers from around the world to work with enterprises like ours who need the extra help. Check out their user-friendly new website: VolunteerWorld.

For more information on our volunteer positions, click below:

Microfinance Fund Manager
Health Outreach Program Coordinator
Summer Sports Camp Coordinator
IT Training and Support

Keep in mind that HINT always welcomes volunteers with new ideas. If you have an idea for a program that you would like to run other than those listed above, please contact us. We can also find placements with local organizations for volunteers who wish to work with orphanages, teach English, and more.

As always, if you would like to contact us, donate, or get involved, you can find us on: Twitter, Facebook, by email, or by contacting us online.

We wish you continued success in your social enterprises and endeavors in 2015! Together, we can improve our local (and global) communities.

Graceland Lab
Graceland Lab

It took so long, it took so many people working together but we are happy that finally the lab was completed and handed over to the school.

Graceland International Bilingual School with about 200 children and nearly 15 staff, now has access to computers to help both children and teachers alike learn better. They also received a scanner and printer.

The total cost of the lab was XAF 1,065,210.

The School paid 40% = 549,084 and HINT with support made available by its volunteers provided the remaining 60% = XAF 606,126 as a grant to the school.

We would like to sincerely thank all those that are working together to make this possible, especially the following organisations:

  • Develop Africa Inc, USA (Provided funding and volunteers)
  • Computers 4 Africa, UK (Provided Computers and accessories)
  • Digital Links, UK (Provided Computers)

The following volunteers also contributed not just money to make this lab possible but also their time, skills and expertise:

  • Brandon Turner
  • Robert Alois Jr
  • Eric Zan
  • Kristi Zan
  • Amber Shevin
  • Andro Mandakovic

Thank you for making this possible.

Here are sample photos. For all photos go to this online album: Graceland Lab.
