In the vibrant Bokwai Community of Buea, Cameroon, Gracious Gifters Foundation successfully hosted its 2nd Annual Back to School campaign on September 7th, 2024. This impactful initiative falls under our overarching program of Promoting Education amongst Internally Displaced persons, specifically focusing on the thematic area of Education.
The campaign’s primary objective was to support over 120 disadvantaged pupils and students with essential school supplies, alleviating the financial burden on their parents, many of whom have fled conflict-affected areas. Our team distributed:
– Durable school bags
– School books
– Pens
– Pencils
– Water bottles and others
Beyond providing essential materials, we aimed to raise awareness about the importance of education and mental health. Our dedicated team engaged the children in thought-provoking discussions on:
– Mental health awareness
– The dangers of drug abuse
To make the event an unforgettable experience, we organized exciting activities:
– Spelling bee
– Quiz
– Egg race
– Chair dance
The campaign coincided with an electrifying inter-quarter football competition, featuring the thrilling finals of under-14 and under-18 teams fostering healthy competition and team work among youth. The energy was palpable as the community came together to support their young talents.
