History has proven that what is never said in speeches is easy said in a song. This was exactly the euphoria that the children of La Fondation Marie France of Kolbikot in Bertoua portrayed when they all sang in solemnity “Papa thank you for the gift you have given us”.

Humanity in recent and past times might have done so little to overcome the disadvantages of the needy and the underprivileged to achieve an extraordinary success. Nobody would have loved to be delivered where he/she is.

But behind almost every story is the essential influence of not only individual personal qualities, but also the good fortune of an excellent development oriented person who would spare no efforts to support causes, promote sustainable actions and act as a catalyst.

The world population has crossed 7 billion. So competition for the best educational provisions and resources will increase, especially for poor rural areas.

Consequently, there is a risk of education improving in cities and the education gap between poor and rich, rural and urban areas widening further reasons why Ta Nformi Dr. Christopher Fomunyoh, the President of The Fomunyoh Foundation-TFF extended a hand of fellowship to La Fondation Marie France, Bertoua.

The act of generosity of Dr. Christopher to support the efforts of La Fondation Marie France has been interpreted as a sustainable action to deliver good quality and relevant lifestyle for the over 38 young boys and girls.

The Bible teaches us that any support should be given freely, be it more or less; not grudgingly, but cheerfully because if we had more faith and love, we should waste less on ourselves, and sow more in hope of a plentiful increase. Can a man lose by doing that with which God is pleased?

Before handing over the gifts made up of books, bags of rice, savon, biscuits etc, Ta Nformi Cameroon Christopher Fomunyoh expressed gratitude to Mandaris Marie-France for her commitment and kind-heart to take care of the less privileged.

He also lauded the efforts of the Rev. Sister Marie-France in preparing a better future for the kids. As a matter of principle he said TFF could not be indifferent when they received a request for support from the La Fondation Marie France. To Dr. Christopher Fomunyoh, TFF will make sure that they come back in the future. “You have a father who has visited you and will continue to come”.

The representative of La Fondation Marie France while welcoming his august guests expressed thanks to God for journey mercies. He said that the foundation also runs a small health unit and intends to setup a primary school so as to bridge the gap of access to education.

The evening which ended with a choral festival organized by L’association Cultura also portrayed the rich culture of the people of the land of the rising sun. To the leader of the group, it is a dream comes true that The Fomunyoh Foundation responded to their appeal.

Hilaire Pankui expressed thanks to Dr. Christopher Fomunyoh for giving his group the honour after their trips to South Korea and Gabon. “You have made Cameroonians proud”, Dr. Chris said.
