It was a big crowd that was gathered at the public school of Endam last Friday, August 26 for the closing ceremony of the month-long vacation course offered to young learners from the villages of Doungou, Endam I and Etondo by The Belinga Foundation.

Objectives

The course is part of the overall vision of education and development of #TheBelingaFoundation which is to instill a new dynamic through quality education focused on both the theoretical modules of the classic school and the acquisition of skills and practical knowledge directly usable by the learner. And by this we aimed at two main objectives which are to occupy the children in a useful way during the vacations and to give them an adequate agricultural training, without speaking about the fact of giving a helping hand to the children resulting from the poor families by financing in part or entirely their studies.
