Every experience matters This is the first time I come to this continent, africa. I’ve experienced omething I never think about. I wrote my own story here.What ever it is good or bad, every part of it influence me and make me better. I saw the difference between different culture but I also saw how we are similar in many aspects.I found the prejudice we had before, some of them are really wrong. I can see my value when I was involved in the project even sometime I thought I helped less. There are many things to be improved in…

Dans un premier temps, je suis partie une semaine en avance dans le village concerné, accompagné des managers et de deux autres stagiaires pour promouvoir le projet auprès des églises et de certains lieux clés pour coller les affiches, distribuer les prospectus, en tentant d’inscrire déjà un maximum de participants. Ma seconde réalisation fut celle de la délivrance de mes sessions et de la participation aux autres sessions, ainsi que la sensibilisation dans certaines associations du village. Ma troisième réalisation à été ma contribution pour la réhabilitation du point d’eau du village. Les réalisations que l’on m’a confié et que…

Durant le séjour, j’ai été responsable de la gestion du volet sur l’entrepreneuriat en collaboration avec une équipe solide et très disciplinée. Je m’acquittais aussi du travail technique comme la traduction des présentations et leur élaboration en vue d’être présentées aux participants. J’ose espérer que j’ai été d’une certaine aide dans le succès du volet du projet Summer 11 pour les séances matinales et de celles en soirée dispensées au personnel de l’hôpital. Malheureusement, l’expansion du volet entrepreneurial à Kamna lors de la troisième semaine n’a pas eu les effets escomptés en raison d’un nombre insuffisant de participants répétés. Cela…

I did come to Yaounde earlier, so I had opportunity to create my own sessions. Thanks to this a learned a lot about specific topics. There were also held sessions for interns about various topics which should be delivered in the villages, which were really interesting for me. I was co facilitator in many sessions during my stay in Bangoua, also reporter, evaluator and timekeeper for many times. Then I participated in community work and football tournament – it was really interesting experience for me. Before I came to Cameroon, I expected cultural shock, totally different life style, interaction with…

From Summer 2011 Project in Bangoua: The most important thing I achieved is to adapt myself quickly in a totally different (working) situation than I’m used to. There were some moments in which I found this was very difficult, but I think that I achieved a lot in terms of going on, staying positive and adapting quickly to new situations and different cultural attitudes. Besides that, I trained my educational and presentation skills, as well as my improvising skills when I had to think of a quick solution if something went wrong or didn’t work out the way I expected….

First of all, I can now better explain about malaria, HIV/AIDS, cholera. I’ve realized how the information that I had was little. Moreover, I did not know much about cholera before, but now I feel like I’ve become almost an expert of the disease. I had never known that how one person can get easily infected with cholera just by drinking contaminated water, food and even by standing near and talking to someone who has already got the disease. Preparation period before the project was also a learning process for me and it helped me a lot learn a lot…
