Tinshu raises funds in USA for HINT

August 25, 2006 by Genesis Leave a Comment

On his way to the USA, Tinshu met a cripple at the Douala International Airport and he was selling postcards. He bought a few to give to some friends and an idea came to buy a good quantity to use for fundraising. He then bought all of the man’s cards. What a joyous day it must have been for this young guy. Previously, Tinshu had also bought some crafts from the “Marche de Fleur” in Douala for the same purpose.

Amazingly, during his one-month stay in the USA, Tinshu raised over US$ 500 from the articles he sold during his time in the USA, plus a donation of US$ 2,500 from Anthony Bettencourt (one of his GSBI Mentors), plus more than US$ 3,000 in cash and in kind donated by Pastor Stuart Nice and His Church, Valley Life Centre, giving a total of about US$ 6,000.

Many thanks to all our generous donors in support of the work of HINT.
