On March 14, 2013, I and my grandson Cameron arrived in Douala, Cameroon from Canada. Our Rotary mission had many purposes, we intended to complete a Polio immunization clinic, review a recent school bus project, see progress or completion of eleven Primary school latrines and hand over much needed school books to these schools. My secondary mission was to impart in Cameron the Rotary spirit of giving Service to others so he may continue in the work D7820 started in 2003. I also intended to bring back other projects which our District clubs may participate in. |
