Happy New Year everyone,
I’m sorry that it’s been so long since we’ve posted on our blog – our group has been really busy with some amazing new projects and we’ve had some incredible advancement on existing initiatives.
We are going to start posting a few times a week to keep you in the loop of our activities, including journal entries from our most recent trip to the Sudan and project updates from Cameroon.
Thanks to your generous support we were able to complete the following projects in Cameroon in 2010:
- Completed 8 classrooms / 4 schools
- Completed 5 new water pipelines
- Delivered educational supplies to 7 schools
- Phase one completed on a school for deaf children
- Completion of a school and village nursery in Keleung
- Augmented feeding/nutritional/health programs for 130 children
- Provided beds, mattresses and bedding to two orphanages in Buea
- Established a micro-livestock project with pigs and chickens at two orphanages
NEW INITIATIVES:
With endemic drought, water is currently deemed the number one need in Sudan. The Obakki Foundation has started a ‘water’ partnership with the UN and UNICEF and has committed to drilling 200 water wells in Sudan over the next year. With 10 wells successfully completed to date, another 15 have been started, which are due to be finished by the end of February. We have many stories and pictures from our recent trip to Sudan to share with you – so check back often!!
Thank you all for your support. This year is going to be a very exciting one for all of us and we look forward to sharing the projects with you.
Best,
Treana
