COVID-19: SISTERSPEAK237 MAKES FIGHT INCLUSIVE

SisterSpeak237 in partnership with @Babila-Boye Arise4Africa Foundation, today paid courtesy visit to our sisters of Association Des Handicapés Dynamiques de Yaoundé 5 - APHADI

The visit is part of our inclusive COVID response. During the visit, we donated hand sanitizers and face masks to APHADI. We also emphasized on basic hygiene measures which are the most important ways to stop the spread of infections, including the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

During the visit the SisterSpeak237 inclusion lead – Rita Acha acknowledged that persons with disability, may be impacted more significantly by COVID-19. She led focus group discussions tailored towards a needs assessment of what is priority to the women in this season

APHADI has a unique mandate to take their members off the streets as beggars. They support the members to learn trades and be more autonomous financially.

The president, Mme Ongla appreciated the gesture and the conversations. She thanked everyone who contributed to the gift packs. She also highlighted some projects for which they are currently sourcing for support including face mask production project by tailors in their association.

Comfort Mussa, Coordinator of SisterSpeak237 remarked that “COVID19 may impact women with disabilities even more significantly. This impact can be mitigated if simple actions and protective measures are taken by key stakeholders. By discussing with the women today we better understand their specific needs and can help amplify these and also seeks ways of assisting them.”

In respect of social distancing guidelines, only the president, her vice and two other members attended. They will share the feedback with their groups and also distribute the sanitizers and face masks amongst their members.

FRENCH PRESIDENT, EMMANUEL MACRON, DISAVOWS DECENTRALIZATION AS SOLUTION TO ANGLOPHONE CONFLICT; OPTS FOR REGIONALISM.

Image an elephant walked into the room. It's definitely something you would notice. It's also something people would describe in many different ways. Some might see it as a monster or a threat, while others (like The Colbert Factor) might think it's the greatest thing ever. It would ultimately mean something different to everyone, and that would influence the way each person understood it. The visit of the French President was the elephant walking into the Cameroon room. Emmanuel Macron and Paul Biya in Yaoundé. July 25-27 2022 Last week's visit by recently re-elected French President, Emmanuel Macron, was too substantial to ignore.

For the past two months, the Wum Municipality has been a bee hive as many youths on holidays have been engaged by the Wum Council, to dig, clean and decorate the municipality with ornamental trees and flowers, this to the satisfaction of the population who always come out in their numbers to encourage these children. The recruitment of these children, though a corporate social responsibility of the Wum Council, has been made possible thanks to the workaholic Mayor and his team. In one of such busy day of work, the Senior Divisional Officer of Menchum Division, Mr. Abdoullahi Aliou, paid a surprised visit to the children and encouraged them in their endeavour.
