Back from South Africa

by Leave a Comment

Greetings again from Cameroon. Trust that you and your family are are doing fine.

We returned from South Africa about 2 weeks ago and are still settling down tot life again. South Africa was a wonderful experience with God as we opened up and allowed Him to speak to us.

We are already making plans for an outreach here in Buea next month. We keep you informed about this.

Meanwhile, we are also putting things together for this year’s Food For Funds (FFF) event. Brian and Christe will be hosting their second event. We would like to encourage you to be a host in this year’s event. To participate, please visit www.fff.hintonline.org and register online.

To see how your involvement is helping to change lives, please visit this link: http://www.fff.hintonline.org/07testimonies.htm. The success of the program lies in our model: serving mostly women only in groups.

We processed and mailed your receipt for last year’s donation but the mail seems to have been missing. We are working with Brian to ensure you receive a receipt for your gift of last year.

Thank you again for standing with us to change lives in real ways.

Regards,
Genesis Tinshu

HINT suffers loss from men of the underworld

by Leave a Comment

Unfortunately, thieves broke into HINT’s office at Bonduma on the night of Friday May 2, 2008.

They made away with valuables that included laptops, air time cards and money. They opened the ceiling from the outside and got into the office through the roof and broke open the doors inside. It is alleged that they could have had a duplicate of the keys of the office looking at the scene of the action.

While we have already reported to the police who are doing their investigation. We pray those who did this nasty act to considerately bring back the stolen articles.

HINT present onsite deployment of INVINEO Systems at G.T.H.S. Bamenda

by Leave a Comment

HINT’S ICT Network Technician participates at the on site deployment of Inveneo systems at G.T.H.S. Bamenda.

The Bamenda deployment was successful, with six technicians including HINT’S representative Ebang Bertrand. HINT was charged with the network topology and power wiring of the main building.The other technicians mounted the Visat dish on ground.Everything went successful even though crimping, testing the UTP cables for 25 computers and introducing guilox to protect and reduce cross-talks between the UTP cables wasn’t easy. Prof Bob Marsh (inveneo’s ICT instructor to Cameroon) introduced efficient and cheap network tools which facilitated our task.

I learnt so much from this on site deployment. While working with computers that consumes virtually nothing,reduced size,very efficient . I just believe introducing this computers to any local community for any project is a success. Prof Bob introduced a software “Deep freeze” which totally eliminates the idea of viruses in computer systems. This experience has widened our knowledge of CISCO networking devices and Microsoft server 2003 which were all a theory to us.Now we can put this skills to practice.
