“They are Youth and adults with

lack of training, who doesn’t

really know what to do or where

to go. They received this project

that helped them to gain

knowledge and experience in a

multicultural environment…."

Clotaire NTIENOU

WEBDEV FOUNDATION

After the success of “summer 2011” and it’s impact in

Bangoua, we embarked on the challenge of ‘summer 2012’.

This year our plan was to deliver the project in Bangoua and in

two other villages however unfortunately one of the villages

didn’t meet our criteria and we were obliged to cancel the

proposed travel to this village one month before we began

‘summer 2012’. Regardless our team believes that the 2012

project was a great success and had a large impact on the

people life in Bangoua and Babouantou during the seven

weeks project.

Our project helps people of all ages children, young

adults and adults who lack education and training. We aim to

give them the opportunity to help them to gain vital

knowledge and experience in a multicultural environment…

This Project was successful because of the strong and

sustainable partnerships we have built with these

communities. Despite the low attendance we are pleased that

our participants had a high level of satisfaction with the

program and we now have the opportunity to improve and

grow our program as we look forward to another challenge in

2013. We look forward to include many national and

international volunteers for the project in 2013.

We would like to take the opportunity to thank

Participants in the two villages without whom, we would never

be able to deliver our project. We also thank Mr Tchiengue

Simeon, Dr Sado, Mr. Patrice, Mr Ouanji Luc, Dr Henang,

Headmaster of Collège Evangelique de Bangoua, the King of

Babouantou (His majesty Kaleuk Mongoue Pierre), Mtre

Ouapi Zacharie, the Priest of Catholic Church, The Pastor of

Protestant Church, The Chief Medical Doctor (Maman Annick)

and all the Elites of Babouantou with the coordination of

Mtre Ouapi who supported us to well deliver the project.

The Project: Project Description

This project was held in two villages Bangoua: 3 weeks Babouantou: 4 weeks. The two villages are both situated in Western Region of Cameroon.

The project was based on Education, Training, Sensitization (awareness campaign), community work and cultural education to raise awareness of cultural diversity to local people by including international volunteers in our program. Our Plan:

- Deliver training on English, Computer Science, Health, Sexual Responsibility and Entrepreneurship

- Carry out sensitization (awareness) campaigns around HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Cholera

- Organizing community work such as Water Point rehabilitation and School Building renovation.

- Promote sport with a football tournament and a marathon - Social responsibility with a blood donation.

There is always discrepancies between our original goals and what we achieve because of the many challenges involved when working with people in West Africa. For example we planned to raise money to buy and distribute mosquito nets to villagers however we did not succeed in raising a financial partner to support us. Our planned class on Entreneurialship was unsuccessful because although we received 20 registrations in Bangoua and 25 in Babouantou we did not receive any actual attendees of the class. This is an unavoidable problem as participants were often unreliable. We lack an acceptable number of computers (only 8 available for the whole 7 weeks) and we therefore had to limit the number of participants we could deliver IT sessions to. In addition we replaced our football tournament in favour of synchronising our plans with organisers of a local football tournament already taking place in Babouantou. We had to cancel plans to bring the project to a third village of Bandrefam because we did not have the necessary information and relevant contacts to organise the project in time for summer2012. However have taken steps to initiate contact with important people of Bandrefam so that we will be succesfull next year.

Time table: Bangoua: 8:00AM until 2:00PM | Duration: 3 Weeks Babouantou: 1:00PM until 6:00PM | Duration: 4 Weeks From Monday to Friday

Weaknesses Strengths Critics and Suggestion

- Lack of finance (No financial partner), so in order to self finance the project we need a source of income.

- Insufficient resources and materials (No Beamers, Not enough Computers…) - Insufficient number of participants

- Talented Human Resources (The team is well trained on the field of various activities of the project)

- Strong project management skills, team motivation and performance tracking - Communication system and advertisement - Open internationally - Good partnership with the communities in Bangoua and Babouantou

The project this year didn’t reach the number of people we expected because of lack of communication between the team and the communities.

We would like to improve on our peer education programme and have a real follow up plan across the year.

The peer educators can also help the project team to promote the project in their various schools and involve participants from their schools and partners for the project in the communities such as their schools, their teachers.

Our main suggestion is to obtain a sponsor the project. This would allow the project to reach more villages as we would have the financial support.

Project Report Submitted on: 15th September 2012 By Clotaire Ntienou, WEBDEV Foundation Coordinator

OutComes of the project

- International Volunteers needed: to teach various subjects in 2 high schools (College

Evangelique and Lycee de Bangoua).

- Volunteers needed to work with the Protestant Church to help them design social housing

and fundraising to make the project possible.

- International Volunteers needed to administrate and teach various subjects in the two primary schools

of Catholic Church.

- International Volunteers needed to help them design and follow up the building of two classrooms in

each of their two primary schools.

- The schools struggle to keep good quality teachers because of the low salary offered. WEBDEV

foundation is working to see how to lunch an online fundraising campaign to support the salary of

local teachers in those two schools and to contribute education in Babouantou.

- During year 2012-2013, we plan to set up Clubs in at least one high school in each village. These clubs

will comprise of participants of the summer 2012 trainings. Their job role will include delivering

education for the whole school. To ensure this is possible we need organise at least three meeting

with leaders of the school before the project next summer.

- Summer 2013 have to be plan for two (2) months/village for more effectiveness in Bangoua and

Babouantou and in order to make this viable we will need more human resources available to us.
