Over 1000 people sensitised on HIV/AIDS on February 11, 2008

February 12, 2008 by Genesis Leave a Comment

[simage=1153,200,y,left]As Cameroonians celebrated the11th of February 2008 as the youth day, HINT, HINT HED, Elizabeth Embry and Rachelle Clune, both volunteers from the U.S.A used the occasion to sensitize the youths on the dangers of STD’S and AIDS.

Over 1000 people were sensitized and a good number went home with flyers, male and female condoms and sound education on living a life free of HIV and aids.

HINT was particularly impressed and calls you today to be part of the team to say no to premarital sex as we kick aids out of our community. The HINT members could be seen from all directions in red t-shirts putting sticker (the cross ribbon) on the chest of many sign for a world free of aids.

In February 2008, Rachelle Lynn Clune and Elizabeth Rhea Embry, both nurses in the United States of America (USA), will visit Helps International (HINT), an NGO located in Buea, South West Province of Cameroon in Sub-Sahara Africa.

During their time here, they will take part in a medical outreach program planned to take place in 2 rural communities: Ekona and Tole.

  • Offer free consultations and free medication.

Rachelle & Beth need US$ 3,425.97 (excluding their flights to Cameroon and back) to be able to reach these rural villages with this life-saving information, training and resources.

Joseph Talbot Trains his first group of 7 web designers

December 20, 2006 by Genesis 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.

The Joseph and Heather Talbot prize instituted

September 30, 2006 by Genesis Leave a Comment

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
