The Director of First AID of the Meme Red Cross, Ndukong Raphael, who presented or proposed Chief Fonkeng to the other members, before his appointment said that by virtue of age and long experience, Chief Fonkeng Martin, was all round qualified to be elected Director of First Aid Incharge of Teaching.

Also speaking, the President of Meme Red Cross Movement Kumba II, Mangeb Mathias appealed to members of that association, that the Red Cross movement is a humanitarian organization and that all its members should be ready to serve without expecting any benefits.

Before the installation, Chief Fonkeng Martin appreciated the initiative of the Red Cross members to chose him as director of First Aid in-charge of Teaching and went on to promise that henceforth the teaching of First Aid in Kumba II would be intensified. The Meme Red Cross Kumba meets every Monday.
