AIDSfreeAFRICA is sending our first container: We used to send a few boxes (see pic) but last week our first 40 foot ocean cargo container left the port for Cameroon. Content: Laboratory glassware and reaction vessels, medical equipment and supplies, scientific text books (over 1000 !), general household items. Vitamin A and multivitamins mostly for my country collaborator Polycarp Nji. We are also transporting a car, a 2005 Ford Freestyle bought by my collaborator Aliu Umaru, although it is his car, it is in part intended to make me travel a little more comfortable and safer.

Women Entrepreneurs: The majority of women in Cameroon are not as fortune as Imelda, to have their own independent income. Traditions keep women "barefoot and pregnant". But Imelda made it and we are glad be part of it.

Young Women "Kick it to Cameroon": It was easy to say yes, when volunteers came and proposed to collect soccer equipment. Team sports teaches leadership, team building and gives young women a healthy occupation.

Women health: Pregnancy and birth related death are too high in Cameroon - no wonder the arrival of an ultrasound machine donated by Phelps Memorial Hospital, NY was greeted with joy and requests for more medical equipment. We also bring medicine to help stop bleeding, a main cause of death in delivery.
