PLEASE DONATE: GIVE BABY ALEXIA A CHANCE FOR A LIVER TRANSPLANT!

This is the first time I am posting a cause on my blog!!Please join us in making the dream of this little girl come true at a chance of a lifetime for a liver transplant

AMEN ALEXIA BIJINGSI, commonly called “Baby A”, is a one year old baby, born to Jude and Camilla Bijingsi in Yaounde, Cameroon. When she was born, Alexia showed symptoms of jaundice, which the doctors assumed to be an infection, and treated her accordingly. With very little response to antibiotics, and after numerous tests, she was finally diagnosed with Biliary Artresia.

Biliary Artresia is a congenital birth defect caused by the malfunction or the absence of external bile ducts. As such, there is no transmission of bile from the liver to the intestines for digestion. This leads to an accumulation of bile in the liver, causing scarring of the liver and finally liver failure.

Alexia has been living with this condition from birth, and her doctors recommend that a liver transplant is performed as soon as possible. 

Alexia’s parents have retained MEDANTA – THE MEDICITY IN GURGAON, HARYANA in INDIA to perform the Pediatric liver transplant. http://www.medanta.org. Her surgery is scheduled for September 2013.

Baby Alexia and her parents will have to travel to India for this procedure where one of her parents will be the donor and Alexia will be the recipient. The estimated cost of the surgery, including a 3 month stay in India for recovery and follow-up, is estimated at $50,000 (fifty thousand US Dollars).

Pass on this website to your family, friends, church and any group who can help!

CAMpreneur Yves Bollanga & AFROtainment on Forbes!!

OK..this made my day!Just came across this Forbes article on CAMpreneur Yves Bollanga.

"The Man Televising African Home Entertainment In The USA"

"According to Nielsen, they represent an estimated 4 million people earning between $45,000 and $75,000 a year. Their projected combined spending power is estimated at $300 billion. This is a fast growing ethnic group and US-based, Cameroonian born Yves Bollanga wants a piece of that pie, a big piece!

The former IBM engineer is building an ambitious family of television channels currently reaching over 21 million households and growing. He is at the vanguard of bridging the cultural gap amongst all the Black communities by bringing Afro-Caribbean content to mainstream America, one TV channel at a time."

***UPDATE*** (@ Cameroon Professional Society 2012 Congress)

"I AM CAMEROON"... "JE SUIS LE CAMEROUN"...

"I am Cameroon", "Je suis le Cameroun".....

Been involved in many  discussions about how I think as a people we have an "identity crisis" Different groups  are always "at each other"..Instead of focusing too much on how differences, we can see it as a strength..
 Bilingualism: Check, over 200 dialects: check, Numerous ethnic groups and cultures: check, Rich culture: check, ecotourism: check, mineral resources: check, fertile land: check..To sum it all..African in Minuature...check check and more check..The list goes on and on

I just came across this video..I love the ideology and rhetoric in this message....Very patriotic!!

"The beginning of a movement..".."We will educate people about active citizenship and community engagement" "We will profile role models..."

Thumbs up to the Obensons for this video!

FaceBook Page - Je suis Le Cameroun

How patriotic are you? What is your contribution towards challenging and changing the status quo? Food for thought!

"I am Cameroon"..."Je Suis Le Cameroun"....join the movement!!
