Hi Treana,
Your trip journals are always the best part for me. Will you be writing about the Sudan trip in more detail with pictures and stuff?
Thanks,
Sarah
Hi Sarah,
I will definitely be writing about Sudan! Our trip was unbelievable and even though we had a hectic schedule, I was able to keep a journal. I look forward to being able to share it with you in the coming weeks. Stay tuned and thanks for reading!
Best,
Treana

Hi Treana,
Are you going to be updating any more video footage from your trips? Is there any way that the interviews you guys have done for the Obakki Foundation can be uploaded so that people outside of Canada/US can watch and pass on to others? Many thanks for taking the time to answer our questions.

Hello,
First of all, thank you so much for following and supporting the Obakki Foundation! We’re actually in the final stages of editing a short film about our trip to Sudan and you’ll be able to view it on our site soon. We also have many small video clips and photos that we will be sharing with you.
Regarding the interviews, we just haven’t been able to get them up on our site yet, but we have plans to do this in the near future. Keep checking back – we should have some new postings up soon!
Thanks,
Treana

Hi Treana,
First of all thank you for the card and your very kind words. My question is when I first heard about the Obakki Foundation you predominantly worked in Cameroon. What made you decide to spread further afield into Sudan and in particular working with other organisations? Thanks for blogging again. It’s good to hear what’s going on.

Hi Juliet,
Our partner, Ed Smith, is in the Canadian Armed Forces and he is part of a special envoy in South Sudan working with the United Nations. When he heard about the dire situation and lack of funds regarding access to water, we offered our services. An opportunity came up last December for me to go there and see the projects first hand. After being in Sudan and spending time among the people, there was no question that we would continue working there. More details to come as I share my journal from the trip in coming weeks!
Thanks so much for your support,
Treana

Hi Treana,
I don’t really have a question, but want to say Thank YOU again for all that you guys are doing. Not only do you help people far away, you help people at home, like me, to have a way to teach my children about the good in the world, as well as the bad. Not only do they appreciate what they have more, they see what it is like for other children their age, around the world, who find joy in simple things. They also know that THEY themselves can make a difference, through helping you guys. We would love to see some more pictures of the children with the school supplies that were sent in.
Thanks again, I hope everything is well with you are yours!!! Keep up the blogs!!

Please let us know, when we can help again!!!
Hi Cynthia,
Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support – it’s so encouraging to have people stick with us for so long. We’ll continue to post more pictures of the children with their supplies because I know how motivating it is to see that your hard work is having an impact. I’ll also be letting you know ways that you can help as projects progress – thanks for enquiring about that! I plan on returning to Cameroon in April and I will take a lot of pictures! I’m so happy to hear that our work is giving you an opportunity to teach your own children. I’ve found it tremendously helpful in educating my own kids about the world and our place in it.
Best,
Treana
