Dear Friends, happy new year 2019 to all of you out there. We have quiet been missing from each other due to the prevailing situation around us.

We want to thank you people for the relentless efforts in putting smiles on the face of our children. We happily received the sum of two hundred sixty five thousand francs yesterday Tuesday January 15, 2019 and was disturbed by network to return a word of appreciation and thanks immediately. This money was paid in this morning at their school as part of their fees for the primary school section. We managed and complete those of the secondary section but those of the primary were still pending since people are complaining of hard times because of the present crisis.

We have more than five of the displaced children at our center which are already enrolled in both primary and secondary schools. We do have an increase of population at our center now. It is not really easy for us coping with them but God is in control. Here are some fast pictures we took with the smaller ones just returning from school.

We want to sincerely applaud you for all the financial and the moral assistance you have been giving us all these years. May the Lord continue to guide and protect you for us and the rest of the so many children who are privilege to benefit from your unconditional love.

Extend our gratitude to the benefactors as well as our New Year wishes. May God mightily bless you all.

Oh dear Kathy you have done it again. We got your money yesterday. Sister Ben and Sister Mary Lawrence are in Abangoh Bamenda while I am in Bafut with some children. We are working on the farms and so on. We can never thank you enough for what you do for the home.The good Lord himself bless you. Sister Ben always share with me your work in the far North. Oh you are a blessing. You will need to write a book to tell the world how it all started. It is amazing what the three of you are doing. What a life of sacrifice. Only God can inspire such a work.

We are doing fine in Bafut now. We have not heard gun shots these days but other parts on Cameroon has not been easy so we can only pray. All the kids here with me send their greetings to you both and to all those helping you to help us. This day on the picture we had to run to the bush because the military was breaking into homes and loot and doing terrible things.

God bless. Sister Jane

Dear Felix and Katja. It has been a long time since we last discussed or met. We were desperate and confused since we lost two members of our family last October. We acknowledge receipt of your donation and a laptop for our projects. The money will help clear remaining school fees for the children and we will be able to get their report cards as they were held back because of the remaining fees. Thanks so much for the assistance coming at the right time. Attached are some pictures we took with the children with our gifts.

This is the day the Lord has made. We were so privilege and honoured a few minutes ago when Mr Gregory drove into the center with childrens school fees. This amount will keep them back in class next term. We want to thank you so much as well as the sponsors for the marvellous job they are doing in assuring a better future for these children. May God continue to give the strength and good health to be able to come to the assistance of these children and others around Cameroon and beyond. The children were full of excitement.

Hi Katja,

Thanks for your mail. We are happy to hear that you returned home safely. We would continue to recognize and appreciate the help you have given us over the years. Without you people we would have maybe drop and send away some of the children because we do lack sponsors. Cameroon government and Cameroonians do not cherish charity work and so we are always challenged in terms of feeding, schooling and health care. Right now we have not registered any child in nursery and primary school and we have twelve of them. We managed to pay the five in secondary school and the three in the university are still at home for lack of registration. As we said your regular support on these children have encouraged us a lot and reasons why we are still persevering.

May God continue to give you the energy and the spirit of this love that you have shown to Cameroonians in general and us in particular. Extend warm greetings from the children to Felix and those who have been helping them at the back ground. Your reward is in God's hands.

Katja & Felix

Good day to you all. Sorry for sending this late mail of greetings and appreciation. We have been living without energy to supply light and that made us stay without a network connection.

We want to thank you so much for the financial assistance. In fact it was so timely because it came when the children were down with illnesses of different kinds. You have been giving these children a lot of assistance and we do lack words to say thank you. We know the Almighty God is using you people to help us and he will reward you abundantly. Our words of thanks can not be enough in return for all the good things you have been doing to us. The children are on holidays and very soon we need to start preparing for their going back to school because it is so stressful when we wait for the last days. Whatever little thing we have now we buy one thing and keep. More children will be going into nursery one and higher classes this academic year and we actually need to hasten up with their school needs when funds are available in time from charitable people like you.

Katja & Felix, we still count and rely on you. Whenever necessary and when opportunity occurs for you to assist us as usual, please do not hesitate. You should know that without you people, we would have dropped some of the projects concerning these children.

Thanks once again for everything. Stay blessed and have a pleasant time.

My dear Katja,

Special greetings from this end of the world. I would really have loved to reply earlier to your mail but like you know, black man palava! It all had to do with network problems.

Our schools are now on holidays and the compound is rather quiet. Lots of repairs in terms of buildings, benches etc. We had hoped that the Nursery school will see the light of day but nothing has happened so far. As to what I mean by a locally made band, I am talking about the set of bands used for marching with the accessoriesl. There are those who produce them locally and we sometimes go for these because they are cheaper and last longer. I will attach some pictures of the old consignment.

We continue looking forward to seeing you in the not-too-distant future in Akwaya. Our regards to all our friends and well-wishers.

Dear Katja,

Thanks so much for the mail and all look forward to seeing you and partnering with you. The building I actually sent is the makeshift structure for the nursery school. We just started this year and have about 38 kids. There is need with nursery two coming up to look for a more conducive and permanent site for the kids. I believe that in a place like this the only way to give the people a future is through good and sound education. The present primary school structure also has its own story to tell. Once here I am sure you can judge things for yourself. Sr. Angela is doing well with the college, the usual ups and downs notwithstanding. My regards to all your friends and family members.

We bought cups for them because many children and adults are sick from drinking water in dirty cups. Each child in our school now has a clean, new, personal drinking cup to use at home and in school. Some of the cups are not visible in the pictures because of their colour. We also bought a mini DVD player to play lessons on television since we don't have a projector screen yet. We again bought a second hand volleyball. Our pictures are not bright. I hope you will be able to see a little bit.

Ongoing work in the Catholic Health Centre Djottin

We have successfully completed block 3 by removing 2 windows which were too old and covered the part with stones. We also completed the showers, the toilet and the floors. What is left now is painting of the building. At the moment it is used in admitting male patients.

In block one, the door directly opposite to the toilet has been removed and we covered the part with stones as well. A new door is opened in front of the block. Still in that same block, some rooms have been demolished, making it conducive for patients. Also the door facing the road has also been removed and we covered the part with stones. A new door has been opened in front. Painting is also going on to complete the inner ward. Presently the villagers are appreciating the ongoing project that will change the lives of the people in the community.

Dear Katja & Felix

Accept greetings from us and the children of St Arnile Marie Handicap center Bonaberi Cameroon. How are all of doing as regards your health and your well being? We are doing pretty fine with the children though some of them are still to go to school due to lack of school fees. Reasons been that more 6 children just came into the center this year excluding an abandonned child. We have managed to send two into the university this year and paid part fees for some but most of them are at home. When ever there is an increase in the population of the children, everything increases too, like feeding, medical care and all. However, we are praying and pleading for your usual financial assistance which will go a long way to reduce our burden. We would want to recognise your relentless assistance to these children over the years. The two that were operated have started their secondary education this year. Their new dormitory has just been completed and we now lack equipment like beds and all necessary stuff to put inside to enable a befitting residetial environment for the children.

Stay blessed and until then.

Which i think is of get help to visitors who come just for a visit and are unable to stand the heat especially during the nights in the dry season. By mid October I will be able to send you some photos.

Greetings from all the sisters with thankful hearts. Missing you, hope to see you soon. Attached is the form for the water project, i hope it is what you expected from me.

Ma thank you!

Dear Katja

I am delighted to hear from you and to know that you are well and busy working for us. I thank you very much for all you do. May God bless you and all those supporting you in this ministry which is coming from your heart.

I will make sure I send you pictures of the children. They are all doing well and looking big and happy. We thank God for you.

When are you coming next to Cameroon? We have very bad weather. I am trying to attach some pictures to you, all in vain. I will try again by the end of the week. May God bless you and give you all you need for body and soul.

Appreciation

From the bottom of my heart, I say thank you for the first you have taken, God is great. I have been very unstable (meetings, retreat celebrations and so on.) I just came back from Bamenda on 5/9/2015 after staying there a week.

I knew that you will be waiting to get more information about the remain money, it is still intact. We have to sit down as a community and desire on what to do since I came retreats have been going on and one sister is coming back the other one goes, hopefully by the end of this month we shall all be together and then come to a conclusion, for we started reflecting on what to do but never concluded. Mama I will not fail to give you the account.

As for the water project, here in Edea I will not know anybody that can do this work. We have a sister of ours who can help with the project but she is now on home and she will coming back by the 20/9/2015. Once I talk with her, I will gather the information, fill the form send it to you. Thank you very much for understanding.

I am home sick of Switzerland the most beautiful, clean and well organized country. Hope to visit it once again. I miss you just too much.

Hope to see soon in Edea. Greetings from all to all around you.

We wish to thank you so much for the lambs they all arrived safely and we are already using them. They are of great help to the patients that we take care of them. It was nice to hear from the sisters that you took good care of them and they are very happy to have been there with you and to see many benefactors who are helping us. Thank you for all.

Sr. S. gave the envelope of one hundred thousand Francs 100,000 CFA for the orphans. Should I use it for the three of them or only for the girl, because that can help the three children for the school year. If you agree that I should use it for them then I shall give you the account after paying their school fees for the school. I shall do what you tell me to do not what I want. The mother is very happy and asked me to thank you for he. Accept many thanks from Sr. Petra and myself for the lambs. You make it easy for us to do our work and to enjoy the work. We are too grateful to you and Felix. May God reward you all for us.

I wish to inform you that I have been transferred to Akwaya to start up a college. The name of the college is St. Agnes Comprehensive College Akwaya. So I do not have enough classrooms yet, I am renovating some old rooms to start up with. It is not easy but I know the children of Cameroon are yours and you will certainly support us in putting up classrooms in this school. There are so many children in Akwaya whom you will like. The people are poor but very welcoming.

The environment is beautiful, it has well shaped rocks and a hilly terrain. You will definitely like the place if you visit me there. We already have an orphanage and a health center there. We intend to now start up a college there this academic year.

Thank you once more for changing the lives of many Cameroonians, especially those in Djottin. God is certainly blessing you. Enclosed is the estimate for the renovation of the primary school. Father is happy with your proposal to plaster and paint the school. His plead and problem is that the windows on the unplastered part are broken, old and different. If they can be uniform, it will be good. This is the estimate he had made to renovate all, but nobody has helped him yet. He is happy that you are willing to do part of it. I have not started the work yet. This is the estimate I made for the painting.
You will equally see the pictures of the mortuary under construction and the pit that has been dug.

Accept very special greetings from Bangang and give this greetings to all your friends of the ASHIA. The children and their parents, grandparents are very grateful for all you have done to the children in Bangang and its nearby villages. Infact you have put the Gospel into practice. If you read the Gospel of Mathew 25:34-40 this is exactly what you have done. We are very very grateful to you. Listening to all the different ways and words of appreciation from children and people around them I gathered this as they message or words of appreciation to ASHIA. You are a golden treasure to them, you are very nice and special people. For the people of Bangang, you have given new life to the children. They all thank God for the day they knew you.

You saw them handicaped and deformed, not able to smile, sad, miserable, you visited them in their homes, gave them joy, gave them hope, gave them a brighter future by sponsoring their operations ans treatments. There is joy, laughter, hopes and health. ASHIA to all the children; they are very happy for each one of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you; each one promise to pray for all of you.

NB: I wish to say my own thing. Full of joy too as the person working with these children, I wish to sincerely thank you for all the efforts you are making to help us carry on our apostolate very well. Infact, you have put sunshine in my social and pastoral activities, how can I repay the Lord for each one of you? Ma Cathy and Papa Felix are really people of the heart. Infact they are very simple and have a real human touch. Their presence gives hope to suffering people. ASHIA Cameroon is another branch of the work of Mother Teresa of Calcutta. You have this same spirituality. You are all at the service of the poor, sick, deformed, abandoned and the suffering children. Thank you for giving to each child here a very big smile. God bless you all.

I will humbly like to beg your favour here. Infact what I say if it is not good, throw it always but keep me with you. This year my Provincial administration i.e Sr. Roberta and her council, have appointed me the coordinator of all the Tertiary Sisters of Saint Francis doing Pastoral and Social work. As coordinator, I really need to give sessions to the Sisters in different dioceses and their collaborators so that they work better; I also need to train people in my own Diocese. I have tried to summarize all my activities as you will see attached here. I will be very grateful to receive help for any person who would like to sponsor any of the activities and you will have good reports of all the activities. Thank you.

May God bless you. Hoping to see you soon.

We are again very grateful and be expecting you at any time that you want to visit us. Our doors are open for you as members of hope family. God bless.

I will sent the pictures of distributions to you when there are downloaded. A brief history of the school's creation. I worked at Idenau as the Chief of frontier police and discovered that children leave their homes instead of going to school, remained at the sea shore with fisher men who use them for odd jobs. I therefore created this private school to help put an end to this habit. It should be noted that most of the schools around are government and mission with poor discipline.

I will be grateful if you consider my school again this school year. Thanks in advance. You are highly invited to visit the school which is situated behind the motor park at Idenau west coast sub division, south west region Cameroon.

Appreciation letter

Accept Calvary greetings in the blessed name of our risen Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who is at the centre and source of all blessings. On the recommendation and on behalf of the C.B.C. Education Secretary, students and staff of Baptist Comprehensive College Nkwen, I write to express our sincere thanks and appreciations for the donation of classroom mobile chalk boards to the institution.

Considering the fact that BCC Nkwen is just a baby institution with vision and Mission statements as follows;

Vision statement: Holistic and Quality Comprehensive Education to all at Affordable Cost.

Mission statement: BCC NKWEN exists to provide to all holistic and quality comprehensive learner-centred and counsel-based education that is moderately-priced (payable in installments) and delivered in a friendly atmosphere by a God-fearing staff in partnership with parents and the state as her own spiritual gift and a response to the complex crisis of our time.

Our small endeavour to provide holistic education as our small spiritual gift to all who need it and as a response to the complex crisis of our time meets up with your organization's objective of helping and supporting underprivileged people in Cameroon. We strongly belief that such magnificent, timely and very appropriate and necessary gifts will greatly help in the accomplishment of this mission to the glory of the Almighty.

The five(5) mobile classroom chalk boards made up of 3 graph boards and 2 plain boards were joyfully received from the hands of Brother Niclas Selzer – a German volunteer teaching with BCC Nkwen last Monday 2nd December, 2013 by the students and staff of the college.

Our hope and desire is that this gesture of ASHIA Cameroon will form a permanent and strong link between her and BCC Nkwen. While wishing you God's richest blessings and guidance in your various spheres of life, accept once more our sincere thanks.

Yours in His Service

Dear Katja Bruhin

Good day. Thanks a lot for your recent mail to me. It was quite a pleasure reading from you. When I gave your message to Sr. Clementine, she told that you had also written to her. I could not reply immeditely because we are at the end of the academic year and there is much to be done as we put together the results of the students. Besides, there are other intervening exercises to be handled.

It is a pity that the spring season is slow arrivig over tere this year. I hope things will soon change and then you can move to the summer and enjoy the warm sunshine. The rainy season started a little early here this year, but the rain is not constant because we do stay at times for more than a week before we get more heavy showers. For this reason, in some parts of the country the crops are not so promising. We continue to pray our bountiful Lord to grant the best to us, His children.

Please Katja, recently I received a phone call from a parent whose deaf and dumb child I sent to the Primary School for the Deaf and Dumb with aid from the Lilianne Funds when I was working in Kumbo. The parent told that the child is now learning sewing and he needs a sewing machine for her. I should be most grateful if you can find one for this little girl to enable her fend for herself once she is through with the sewing course. Thanks a lot in advance for your readiness always to help needy children.

Accept and share our hearty greetings with your husband and all our generous benefactors. May the Lord bless and reward each one of you according to your own needs for soul and body. May the Holy Spirit whom we just received at Pentecost be our constant guide.

Yours sincerely,
Sr. Mary Francis Fohba

My dear Katja

I wish to sincerely thank you and your husband, all your friends of ASHIA Cameroon, for all your love, compassion, sympathy, concern, attention and your generosity to the orphans and vulnerable children of this area. Thank you for sharing with them. Because of the pandemic of HIV and AIDS, many children are orphans and have no means to education, nutrition, medical care. So your kind gesture is always like a miracle to these children. From your generosity, a few children were helped: to go to school, to have clothing and to have something to eat. Some were operated upon; two of them with serious handicap that cannot be operated have got a tricycle. For all these, I say thank you on behave of the children.

Thank you and all your friends for this great humanitarian work. We promise all of you our prayers. God will keep and protect you all.

November 2012: Kurzgeschichte aus dem Spital Shisong in Kumbo

Christina Ntala kam 1979 in Nkongsamba zur Welt. Ihre Eltern verliessen Ndu und wohnten fortan in Nkongsamba. Ihr Vater, ihr Ehemann und einige ihrer Brüder starben in Nkongsamba. Sie lebte fortan alleine mit ihrer alten Mutter und ihrer jüngsten Schwester, welche ebenfalls eine Witwe war sowie ihren eigenen fünf Kindern.

Christina wurde sehr krank. Ihre betagte Mutter brachte sie ins Spital nach Shishong in Kumbo mit den zwei jüngsten Kindern, welche alle unterernährt waren. Dies war am 20. März 2012. Das Spital übernahm die Kosten für das Essen und die Behandlung. Den Kindern und der Grossmutter ging es bald besser. Die Mutter verstarb kurze Zeit später am 31. März 2012. Sie war zu spät ins Spital gekommen.

Die Grossmutter verliess das Spital mit ihren zwei Enkelkindern und war überglücklich, dass das Spital ihnen geholfen hatte und alles versucht hatte, um ihre Tochter zu behandeln und alle von ihnen zu ernähren.

Dies ist nur ein Fall von vielen ähnlichen von verzweifelten Menschen, welche täglich den Weg ins Spital von Shishong und vielen weiteren Spitälern Kameruns finden.

Das Spital ist sehr dankbar, dass diese Kosten durch Ashia-Spenden übernommen wurden.

For this short while the children have gain a lot of typing knowledge. All of them have mastered the Key board and a few of them can type now without looking at the keyboard and we hope that as time goes on all of them will pick up. The practical part of the computer lessons are done workshop by workshop so as to give each of them a chance to sit on a computer.

Mama Katja,

Greetings from Cameroon. How are you settling down after your heroic visit to Cameroon? I know you never used to have time to rest. I am doing fine but feeling very disturbed because till now I have not started realizing my dream. I leave all in the hand of Jesus my Saviour. I beg that you join me in prayers.

I am leaving now to take an orphan to Njinikom orphanage. I don't yet know how I will get the money to pay, but I trust that God will take care. The mother of the baby passed away when the baby was four months old. The father is alive but really looking very sick and cannot even afford buying milk for the baby. The child taking care of this baby is nine eleven years old and dropped out of class six in the primary school to do this. The baby is now seven months and smaller than a baby of one month. All the little girl can give the baby is pounded coco-yam or plantain with palm oil.

Pray for me too when you pray for yourself. Say hi to Papa Felix, I hope he is doing fine.

I will try from Bamenda next week to send to you the pictures of the children at the computer classes you will like them. Your gift was a miracle to us. As you see in the report we do not have beds yet and by the end of July we have to give back what we borrowed from one of the schools. It is a big worry for me but I have been telling God to do some thing about it.

Our problems are may but the joy we bring to the children is much. With people like you I know all will be well with us, God is in control of all and I thank him daily for his care over the children and his divine providence. Be sure of my prayers for you and the work you do. When are you coming to Cameroon? When you come you are welcome to have some days with us at the centre we have rooms for you.

On behalf of the kids, staff and parents of our institution, I wish to extend my sincere joy and gratitude for the reception of so many didactic materials. On the 19th of April 1012, schoolbags were shared to 162 pupils and 8 teachers who were present on that day, with file jackets and a toe millepede.

On the 22nd of May 2012 we again gladly received abacus shapes and numbers, jig-saw puzzles, many kinds of stuffed animal toys, color crayons, animal pictures, a football, 2 toy cars, 2 pairs of skating shoes, and more file holders.

The above will go a long way to facilitate the teaching/learning process given their close resemblance to live objects and thought provoking nature.

Dear Katja & Felix Bruhin

Greetings from Cameroon.

Gratitude is one of the hardest emotions to express and thank you, is not enough and there is no word capable of conveying all that you have done for the disadvantaged children of Saint Francis Home for Skills Training and for those you are helping in Cameroon. So until we reach a world where thought can be adequately put into words. God alone is the only one who can thank and reword you for us.

All I can do is to offer you in my daily prayers asking the lord to give you all you need for body and soul. I got a boy yesterday who can and in-stored the computers one has a problem. So the the children busy preparing the table for the computers and the one for the printer shall be ready today. When all is done we shall take the pictures and send it to you very soon.

I will like to share with you a bit about my work. I am a social worker and for my many years in the Religious life I have been working with the disadvantaged, the prisoners, those living with HIV and now SAFRAHOST, and the old people of Njaivnyuy. For the HIV I have formed support groups and trained leaders who run the groups in villages and once a year we visit them and every year we have leaders meetings to plan the activity of the groups. Seen their drugs is not coming always when every we get money we go round to teach them nutrition which is very good for them and the family we teach them practical cooking so that their are able to cook balance deity for themselves. I also encourage friends and people of good well to support us with dresses, shoes, food etc for those who are poor, we write letters of appeal to get money to pay school fees for orphaned children in primary school. This year we paid fees for 300 children. And a friend gave us school bags and pens and books for 100 children. At the moment we are praying and hopping to get some thing for September or october beginning of the school year in Cameroon. I will say more next time.

Please I want to be a member of your group not just a receiver. So tell me what I can do to be a member of this group.

Be sure of my prayers

Dear Kathy and Felix,

many thanks for your kind patience for this justification. One of the reasons was the failure of light and internet not working most of the time. Also i was looking forward to seeing you. However i do understand that you are looking for funds to help many more children. We remain very grateful.

As you can see the children are looking good and the parents very grateful for the help. Sr. Scholastica left this morning with some of the children who came for control. All are very happy and thanks a lot for enabling her to carry out this very important mission. Without you she can do nothing for all those poor children. Thank God for your wonderful love and concern.

I am looking forward for your coming next year for the documentation of this work as mentioned. We will do all to enable you do the work. We have so many children again this time. I will send the hard copy of the justification to Mr Ni Gregory for his file.

God bless all your efforts. Thanks a lot. Hope to hear from you if this has come through.

Liebe Katja und Felix Bruhin,

wir möchten uns ganz herzlich bedanken, dass es euch gibt!

Mein Name ist Anni und ich lebe hier seit 5 Jahren in Sued-Westen Kameruns (4 Stunden entfernt von Bamenda) in Fontem zusammen in einer Gemeinschaft und arbeite im Krankenhaus «Mary Health of Africa», das zusammen mit den Einwohnern 1966 hier aufgebaut wurde. Wir haben eine Chirugie, Männer-, Frauen- und Kinder-Station, Maternity und eine AIDS-Station. Wir helfen diesen Patienten besonders mit moralischer Unterstützung, aber auch mit Medikamenten. Wir bringen mit Spenden das Projekt «Milch fuer Kinder von HIV Müttern» vorwärts. D.h. wir geben künstliche Milch (Guigoz1) für Kinder bis 6 Monaten, deren Müetter diese Krankheit haben, um diese nicht durch die Muttermilch weitergeben. Es ist wirklich ein Erfolg. Bis jetzt geben sich die Mütter wirklich Mühe, ihren Kindern zu helfen.

Wir haben einen Kindergarten «Morning Star» Dr. Tim erhielt vom Waisenhaus «Good Shepherd» Bamenda einige Spielsachen, Rucksäcke und Stofftiere. Unsere Kinder konnten ihre verschleissten Rucksäcke endlich aussortieren. Sie waren so glücklich. DANKESCHÖN für eure Hilfe!!!

Ich habe euren «Flyer» gelesen — klasse! Auch der Name Ashia — wie passend! Wenn ich die nächste Change habe, ins Internet zu kommen, werde ich mir eure Internetseite sehr gerne mal ansehen.

Wir wünschen euch viel Kraft für Ihre Hilfe, die Sie «unseren» kamerunischen Kindern und Freunden geben.

Möge Gott Ihnen viel Segen für Ihre Arbeit geben! Vereint in der Nächstenliebe

Thanks very much for the concern you have shown to the above Health Centre with all that you gave to support us. Your impact of assistance to the Health Centre like the antibiotics, wheel chair, files, pens, bags, computers etc. was really of help to us. Forceps and other instruments are being used in the Maternity and Dressing room. It has helped the staff, H/C and community.

Old people were very happy to have their gifts as you will see in the pictures and the letter which a blind old pa wrote to me sending thanks. Health committee village members had bags and they too were very happy and gave me potatoes to eat in your name since the potatoes cannot reach you, as a sign of gratefulness on what you have done to their Health Centre and community people as well.

Dear Katja and Felix Bruhin,

Last week Ni Gri was here with a whole load that made very many people in Shisong very happy. I was the happiest knowing that it is because of me and your Love for humanity that you are extending your charitable work to very many needy people especially children in Cameroon.

The Reverent Sister in charge of the orphans with the gifts for the children was so happy. Therese and Brendan said they were going to intensely their learning of the German Language. They are 17 of them Novices in formation. Shisong now is very cold. Some girls who came aspiring to join us in the future started wearing some of the pullovers that were in my package as my superior was too happy to distribute to them immediately it was opened. The joy cannot all be recounted here.

I have no other word to say except THANK YOU and to all your collaborators.

All the best and God bless you and the good work you are doing.

Hello good day and may the good Lord richly bless you this day and for evermore. You know we did not think you tell you some of our little experiences with the lenses. Thank you very much for the suggestion. You know as for the glasses which are bifocal and progressive, we gave to those people who badly needed the glasses which corresponded to them. We gave them and a few we sold at give away prices. This has brought much joy to the people and has also increased our circle of friendship. To the negative lenses we also gave at give away prices. As for the sunshades, for children we gave them free of charge and it made them so happy to have glasses. Those for adults, we give them mostly to those elderly persons who have cataracts and to albinos who find it difficult to perceive light. It has been a wonderful experience. Stay blessed.

Dear Katja

Thanks so much for sending us pictures of our children. This is very exciting. Our children in a newspaper in Europe this is wonderful.

Thank you so much for what you are doing to us and other poor and needy children in this country. The baby twins are doing very well. You remembered that I told you that these babies survive because of the hot water bottle you gave to us. They were premature and we know that taking them to the hospital will cost us a lot of money and some one to stay with them for almost a month. We decided to use the hot water bottle to warm them up. They will be 4 month next month and are doing very well and happy. So you and the people working with you can see how helpful you are to our people. We remain ever grateful to you and your husband and all the other people working with you.

God bless.

Dear Katja and Felix,

Congratulations for the performans of your football team yesterday. During the mach I was in the Operation Theatre to see a heart operation for the first time. It was so interesting to see how a patient is put to sleep while his heart is being emptied of blood and put in tubes to keep circulating in his body. After reparing the heart, it is filled again with blood and shoched to start pomping again. These operations have been going on in our hospital here in Shisong since November 2009. Wach for the operations of this month in the near future at www.shisonghospital.org

You do not know the great help you have given to Senosia. You have wiped away her tears for she was so disappointed when her father told her was not to go to the college because of no money and she cried. Katja, this one yearof help is great. May God reward once more abundantly. I do understand alright what you said about your NGO work, I hope and pray that by next year the family should be able. Do thank the donors Ruedi and Roman very much for me.

She did very well in her Religious exams, we are waiting for the results of the common entrance and the first school leaving exams which is still to take place on the 15 -06 -010.

Back here in the convent, we are just as if we in Switland with our micromat wave. Every day specially in the morning, we warm our food, bread and enjoy it. It is actually very helpful.

The rains are heavy here but the crops are doing well, soon we will start eating fresh corn from our own farm. If it were posible I will send you your own share of fresh corn through the internet.

Happy feast of the Acension of our Lord to Heaven!

From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you a million times for the quick good gesture you have shown to me and to Senosia in particular. I have no words to express myself, only God will reward you for all.

Ni Gregory was here this morning to give me all the information. Senosia is very happy and she has written a letter which Ni Gregory will send to you via a friend by hand. During the first three years in the secondary school, children do all the subjects and it is only in form three that individual children now chose either to do Arts or Sciences.

The work in the health centre is going on smoothly and very easy when it comes to caring of wounds, doing office work and cleaning of places is concern for all the dressing materials, the gloves, the files and so many other materials you gave to us are of great help to the centre. Merci! Danke! Thank you!

The eight hundred thousand francs you gave us has finished paying the X-Ray Bills. Is that not wonderful of you? The x-ray is functional now and we have started doing the x-rays bit by bit and people are happy about it for this helps them from going so far to Bamenda only for x-ray thus risking their lives on the high ways.

Greetings from me and everyone in Mayo Darle. Everything here is moving smoothly, especially because of the support we get from Ashia-ch, for our work in general. The school year has ended well. The children did so well in their performances. The hopstial too is taking a new shape especially with the construction going on of the operation theater. Waiting your part.

Here is a cassette of our activities in Mayo Darle made at the close of the school year. Show it to those who help you to help us. You will see women in Infant Welfare Clinic sitting on the benches, enjoying the place that Ashia.ch helped us to set for them.

The children in the school are so proud of their school. Discover the rest for yourselves. Most important is the account of all that you entrusted to us under my care (in an envelope sent 2nd week of September).

The balance is already programmed for a young lady who is learning tailoring. Sr. Bernard saw her in one of our out-reach stations and irected her to me. She was given in marriage at 14 years. She has 3 deliveries with four children. Her husband threw her out with the children. She know how to keep a house only. So I sent her to do tailoring so that she can help herself and the kids.

• five mixed picture frames
• one carton of assorted clothes for children
• two cartons of T-Shirts for children.

Thank you so very much for these things which were already distributed to our needy by the committee in charge. From what you might have seen in the village, the entire Bawock Village suffered acts of savagery unheard of in modern civilisation.

While we are thankful for these gifts, the needs are still enormous, if one considers that the bulk of houses and their contents of furniture, clothes and food, as well as food crops and livestock were completely destroyed. It will take time therefore before Bawock gets out of the dismal situation.

BAVIDECO is the apex organisation in charge of the development of Bawock Village. Should you want to contact us for any information, we are readily available. Again, thank you very much. May the Almighty God replenish your stocks many times over and multiply your blessings.

Yours faithfully,
Joseph Njita
Secretary General

6. Juni 2009: Brief aus Enwen, wo wir mithelfen, eine neue Schule zu bauen

Dear Sir,

we are very sorry for the late presentation of this report. This was due to the health situation of the main technician as we indicated to you. As at now Sir, the foundation is carefully completed and those classrooms which had holes have also been maintained as you can see in the photographs. The school pupils, administration and the whole village are extending profound salutations for all the humanitarian gesture from you.

With kind regards, Charles

Dear Felix and Katja Bruhin,

We hope to reduce infant mortality in the near future. Find enclose, the account of what you gave us for helping children. I hope it reaches you before you come. Thank all your friends who are helping you to help us in our work.

With best regards,

August 2008: Brief aus dem Spital in Mayo Darle

Dear Katja and Felix Bruhin,

It was a great joy hearing you on the phone. The joy was greater when i heard you are preparing to visit us again. You are very welcome. Some changes have been made. You will beet 3 new sisters when you come. From the ones you met, only Sister Bernard and I are remaining here. We are now a community of 5 sisters. One sister will be teaching in school. Three sisters working in the Health Center and one doing Pastorla work. Part of our community for the moment is the Medical Doctor, his wife and their three sons. And of course the children in the house. We are all well except Ouseni the orpahn boy who went to his maternal grandmother and fell sick. A sister went to bring him to the hospital for treatment today' she is not yet back.

We have helped some children with what you left us for them. Some with clothings, others with treatment and school fees. Part of the money has been used to set up a Nutrition Center. You will see it when you come. We hope to help many more children who are suffering from malnutrition.

Since we have a Medical Doctor now, we are also trying to set up a Small Operation theatre to be able to save some mothers and their children during child birth.

I have had to discontinue my Malaria drip treatment to accompany a woman for Ceaseran Operation at midnight 60 kilometer away. Anything that can help us have an operation theater is welcome.

While waiting for you with very kind regards
Sr. Evelyn
