Joanna Tilson arrived Buea last Sunday July 8, 2007 to work as a volunteer with Helps International (HINT).

Joanna is a librarian and will be working on the Community Library Project (CEL) initiated by HINT. CEL will provide thousands of school textbooks to hundreds (and eventually thousands) of orphans and needy children in and out of Buea.

She will also help with organization of Back Packs 2007 on September 8, 2007. Back Packs is an annual event during which HINT offers scholarships, books, and uniforms to orphans and needy children.

We will equally discuss setting up Helps International (HINT) as a 501(c)3 organization in the United States of America.

Joanna, you are welcome to the beautiful town of Buea, Cameroon and we hope you will enjoy your over two months stay here.
