HRH, FON DR. FOMUKI WALTERS OF GUNEKU VILLAGE.

According to the president of the Association of persons with special abilities in Mbengwi, Mr. Agwe Eric Tata, they are facing quite a number of challenges: “The challenges are many. There is that trauma. When there are gun shots, many don’t even know how to run; they are abandoned behind by relatives who are physically able. Some in a bid to hide are instead exposed and you know in this crisis, no one is safe while some lack food to eat. This financial package from the Fon is coming at the right time to put smiles on their faces”.

Meanwhile, the president of the Kobenyang People living with special abilities, Ngong Cecilia Feh who is visually impaired said, though the package from the Fon is to enable them celebrate Christmas without difficulties; it will also help them enhance their daily activities: “Some of us keep table birds, pigs; we do farming and many others. This package will enhance our activities. I also do farming to feed my family and I sale some too. We thank HRH Fon Dr. Fomuki Walters for being there for us.”

Asked how she go about her activities in the farm given the fact that, she is visually impaired, she said, she has studied the different crops and their shapes and even the grass. She furthered that, whenever she torches the grass, she is able to tell which is needed and which isn’t needed. She cultivate and do the weeding all by herself.

It should be noted that, the current crisis in the two Anglophone Regions of Cameroon has dealt a heavy blow to people with special needs. Many have been killed, many displaced while others have lost the only source of their income.

The ceremony at the Guneku Fon’s Palace was animated by short plays, debate and live musical performances composed by the beneficiaries, exchange of gifts between the donor and the beneficiaries among others.
