by Leave a Comment

Joseph & Heather Talbot who were our very first international volunteers have visited us again.

They arrived Cameroon on April 10, 2009 for a two-week visit.

This time, they are not volunteering but just visiting their many friends that they made while in Cameroon.

We also want to thank them for a donation of 200 pounds from Heather’s Church, Kidlington Baptist Church to support our School PCs Project.

Thank you Joe & Hev, also for your donation of a refurbished pentium 4 Laptop badly needed for our work here. Thank you to  Kidlington Baptist Church for their continues support of our community impact efforts.
