HAPPY CHILDREN OF BINJU NKAMBE PARISH.

The children of Binju Nkambe Parish were very excited this Sunday morning when they heard from their Parish Priest, Fr. Emmanuel Mbeh that the Children’s Library was again opened. The children did not have access to the beautiful story books and other didactic materials offered to them by one of their parents from Canada whom they are really anxious to see and know. Parents and children have been made to understand that education is the key to development.

A society with only illiterates is bound to remain underdevelop. The children of Binju Nkambe Parish are bent on using the available means at their disposable to make a difference. They would not want to repeat the mistakes their parents made by not reading books and going to school. They thank God each time they come into this library for sending a saviour to free them from the hands of illiteracy.

The library remained closed for some months because the key to the room got missing between the then Librarian, Evaristus Nfor and the Parish Priest. This was reported to Fr. Robert Tanto who came to visit the site before leaving for Yaounde, his new station. He immediately made available money for a new lock for the door and a Carpenter was brought in to do the replacement. The children are now happily using the library with many books and games. Thank God nothing in the library was damaged by rats. The place was cleaned and made ready for use.

Not only children are interested in reading these books. Some adults who came to see how the library looked like found the stories very interesting and come there too to learn. They prayed that the library grows into a University so not only children would benefit but the entire population of Donga Mantung Division and why not Cameroon at large.
The children and adults using the library are being supervised by a volunteer who is a Christian of the Parish.
