From Bitame Lucia Nursery and Primary School in Nkolfoulou, Cameroon

Bitame Lucia International School (BLIS), Nkolfoulou, Cameroon

Dear Visitor,

Welcome to our website.

We attempt to create a calm, organised and orderly atmosphere in which children behave well, and where all individuals, both staff and children alike, share a common respect for one another. The Bitame Lucia Nursery and Primary School is an initiative by the Cameroon Association for the Protection and Education of the Child (CAPEC) a Non-Governmental Organisation and Non-Profit with Registered No G39/014/5/252. The construction of the school is strongly supported by the enitre village of Nkolfoulou .This school will go along way to serve five other villages. As a new school we lack infrastructure and school materials. We call on you to support us in any means you can. There are a number of ways that you can help promote the growth and development of Bitame Lucia School:

Make a Donation which will enable the school to build new buildings and provide adequate classroom space for its pupils.
Make a personal connection with the school: While monetary contributions are what buy bags of cement and zinc panels for the roof, this project has also strived from its inception to connect the school, its pupils and the larger Nkolfoulou community to the outside world
Put the school in touch with a Nursery or elementary school in your community: One of the things we hope to do is link Bitame Lucia Nursery and Primary School with either other schools or specific classrooms in some sort of pen-pal or sister school relationship.
Donate books, lesson plans or other educational material suitable for children in the 4-13 year old age range: The community's extreme poverty makes buying quality educational material for the pupils very difficult. If you have access to relevant educational material that you could donate and send to the school, please get in touch with us
Share this information with your friends and family: Please tell other friends and family members about this project and ask them to get involved and contribute however they can.

The next academic year opens on the 4th of September 2010. We sincerely thank you for visiting our website and please do pass back for updates.
