Why (Project owners drive)

Helmie and I lived and worked for 3 years in Cameroon and have many friends over there. Each year we want to realize a project with one of them. Last year we invested in sheep and stables in the village of Roland (Need for Sheep). This year, Bah Manga wants to give a little push to two primary schools in his neighborhood. And we are going to help him!
