Strategic Humanitarian Services-SHUMAS working ifxn collaboration with Building Schools for Africa-BSFA-UK have extended a hand of fellowship to Catholic Schools in Bamenda. SHUMAS Director, Ndzerem Stephen personally handed over the support to the beneficiaries a forth night ago in a solemn ceremony which was marked by the presence of clergies, school officials and parents.
The support which amongst others included pedagogic material, benches, chairs and science laboratory was the first of it's kind to mission schools. The lucky beneficiaries were St John Catholic School Ntaghem, St Joseph Catholic College Mankon and Saint Charles Lwanga Catholic School Up Station. At St. John for example, SHUMAS rehabilated classrooms and equally donated a well equiped science laboratory for the school which since creation has never had one. Teachers, students, parents and the clergies, expressed gratitude and thanks to their donors for the gift of the future.
Both Rev. Father Bonaventure Ndong and Rev. Father Edward Siani appreciated the donor for an investment for the future and for acknowledging that " children are jewels". They called on God to bless the hands that giveth and replenish the sources so that these givers will never lack.
Ndzerem Stephen, SHUMAS Director while handing over the gifts to the beneficiaries cautioned that the donation should be judiciously used for the purpose for which it was intended. To him, "the only thing u can give to a child is education. If a child is to be the president of this country and that child does not go to school, the child would not even be a truck pusher. That is why we invest eighty percent of our projects on education". He told students and pupils that education is the foundation of human existence and it is the only key to the future.
It should be recalled that SHUMAS is one of the leading humanitarian organization in Cameroon and for over 15 years has been building schools and providing an enabling environment for teaching and learning in Cameroon. The SHUMAS Center is the best incubation training center for young agricentrepreneurs.
SHUMAS is an ideal Non Governmental Organisation that hasn't relented extending outreachly to all communities in the entire Republic of Cameroon. Her presence is being felt all over. Education for the children in emergency is a priority. Kudos SHUMAS
