Celebrate World Food Day this Thursday October 16 in a unique way.

Celebrate World Food Day this Thursday October 16 in a unique way.

Share a meal with your family, friends, co-workers or neighbours and remember the over 850 million people who know what it’s like to go to bed hungry every night around the world. Let your FOOD become FUNDS that will FEED a life!

As an organization, we have been actively involved in helping people come out of poverty in practical ways by building life skills and providing micro-loans for business start-up or expansion through funds we raise during our annual fund raiser – Food For Funds.

In 2007, Brian & Christe Dodds in Dallas/Fort Worth, USA decided to help and through their effort about $3000 was raised and this amount impacted the lives of about 30 women and over 210 people indirectly. Testimonies of last year’s recipients are here: http://fff.hintonline.org/07testimonies.htm. Join and help us meet our target of $10,000 this year to assist 80 families.

“If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one”. Mother Theresa

As you take your breakfast, lunch and dinner this Thursday October 16, please remember in any way you can, the over 5 million children a year who die of hunger.” That means 1 child dies every 5 seconds of hunger! (Source: FAO)

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.

First FFF fundraises over 2600 dollars

by Leave a Comment

The first ever Food For Funds (FFF) event raised $2,645.22 (CFA 1,203,337).

The funds will be used to help rural women in and around Buea to start or grow small businesses that are the only means of livelihood for the family.

The funds were raised through 16 generous donors during the first ever Food For Funds (FFF) event that took place in Buea, Cameroon and Arlington, USA on October 14, 2007.

In the next few weeks we will give out loans of about CFA 50,000 (about US$109) each to about 20-25 people (mostly women).

Our offering basket is still open and remains open throughout. Will you consider making a donation to change a family? We very strongly encourage to take action and do something. Together, we can make a difference!
