Valley Life Centre USA supports HINT

by Leave a Comment

Pastor Stuart with his wifeValley Life Centre, a Church in Santa Clara (Silicon Valley) has indicated their commitment to supporting the work of HINT through web hosting. This was made know to us at HINT recently by Pastor Stuart Nice who is Senior Pastor of the Church.

As we train web designers, the need has always been hosting the websites done by our students. Valley Life Centre will pay for hosting these websites and the benefits of such generosity will flow back to HINT and to our students bringing about real social and economic change in the lives of our trainees.

Valley Life Centre is also helping to collect used or new technology equipment and any other useful items for subsequent shipment to Cameroon. To make a donation in-kind or cash to HINT, please contact Pastor Stuart Nice of Valley Life Centre.

A big thank you to Pastor Stuart and all the wonderful and lovely people at Valley Life Centre.

by Leave a Comment

Since after arriving from the UK, Joe has spent time researching and writing a web design training manual.

He conducted the first training session from October 30 to December 17, 2006 with 7 students in class. The students received a thorough foundation on HTML and CSS. With the knowledge, the students can then be able to design and maintain websites and this creates employment opportunities.

We need help with volunteers who can help develop curricula for the following advanced training modules (online or on-the-spot here in Buea):

  • Networking
  • Hardware Maintenance
  • Desktop Publishing
  • Photo editing

Access our volunteer application form to let us know if you can help.

It cost only 100,000 FCFA (US$ 200, GBP 101) to equip 10 unemployed youths with web design skills so they can do web design jobs for a living. You can donate online via PayPal to help train 10 youths. Thank you for your help.

John Onofio, winner of the award for 2006Back Packs is a program organised by HINT once a year at the beginning of each school year to provide school supplies to needy children. In 2006, about 30 children were helped.

During Back Packs 2006, we instituted the Joseph and Heather Talbot Prize for Service to Humanity in honour of the Joseph and Heather Talbot, volunteers from London working for HINT who were present during the award ceremony. The prize was instituted to appreciate and promote their heart of sacrifice and voluntarism in Community projects.

The prize will be awarded each to a child in our community who has been noted by many to have a heart of a volunteer; one who is ready to serve and not look for a reward from men.

The 2006 prize was awarded to John Onofio of Government Primary School at Bonduma. John made sure that there was always clean drinking water at the HINT office. Each day, he would stop by at the office to collect bottles to fill with clean fresh water.

The prize has a monetary value of CFA 200,000 (US$ 400, GBP 200) attached to it. The money will be used to cater for a child’s entire education for the whole year including books, uniform, school fees, and health care.

We are now accepting donations for the 2007 prize. Donate online via PayPal.

Together we can help thousands of children and end up educating a whole generation
