OK people..it is events like this, organized by associations of this calibre that make me very proud of my ROOTS. I think I have the right to say that I am "Nso to the Bone"...
I can answer the question "What/Where is your compound?"....lololol..(Sorry, inside joke)...My compounds are:Maternal - "Mbonyar, Ntsenkar, Mbikiyy", Paternal - " Kah, Ngairin, Ntseng"..I know my lamnso spelling is terrible...but i applaud my effort..lol! My grandfather settled in "Ndzengvev"......OK "gvev" means "chicken"...so go figure...The youth section of NGVEVDA (Development Association) is "Won Ngvev",translation "chicks".......

On a more serious note, this is the EVENT you want to attend!!It will be a display of Culture and leadership in community & sustainable development.

"....In 2008-2009, through our partnership with Kumbo Development and Orientation Centre (KUDOC), we provided school supplies to 1,622 elementary school children in six schools in three
subdivisions of Bui Division, namely: Jakiri, Nkum and Kumbo.
Nine schools have been identified in Nkum, Oku, Mbiame, Kumbo and Jakiri subdivisions to receive school supplies. Cost is about$3 per kid. Goal-3378 elementary school children"

BFU-USA needs your support to achieve this very noble initiative and much more!!
