Humaniterian Action: Widow To Enjoy Sleep Again After Hon.Agho's Intervention

By Raymond Dingana

77-year-old Mama Lum Monica has not had a sound sleep for years ever since her husband died some time ago and was long abandoned to herself in Bafut, Northwest region of Cameroon.

What she called a bed was nothing close to a bed meant for humans to sleep on. She has been in that condition for a long time before Hon. Agho Oliver of the Bafut-Tubah Contituency came to her aid.

Mama Lum from Njibujang-Bafut could not catch the tears of joy and excitement that rolled down her cheeks when she met with the new house equipment gifted by Agho Oliver, Member of Parliament (MP) for the Bafut/Tubah constituency.

The unexpected package which constituted a new bed, mattress, bed spreads and blankets, was the fruits of an advocacy campaign by Ayumbi Marceline, community-based foundation, Vision for Hope.

Vision for Hope has been applauded for unvailing the desperate, dehumanizing and unbearable living conditions of this widow.

The widow who had long been abandoned to herself before the August donation Lacked detectably all what people take for granted elsewhere.

She was living on less than 1$ a day, a condition used by the United Nations to describe poor persons in the society,Mama Lum Monica was authentically surprised to discover there were people in the society like Hon. Agho Oliver, who still cared about individuals like them.

Presenting the donation to Mama Monica, Ayumbi and team of volunteers thanked God for the donor and wished God would continue to use him to change the lives of others in Bafut and elsewhere, who live under despondent and deplorable conditions, for no fault of theirs.

Echoeing the wisdom of the old, Ayumbi was of the opinion that 'one person caring about another represent life's greatest value', and that Agho Oliver was definitely that person.

With the speed of light, the Hope for Life team of volunteers went to work, pulling apart the decayed bamboo bed, discarding with the old bedbug breathing beddings, cleaning and disinfecting the home, before decorating it with the newly furnitured bed, bed spreeds and others.

In response to this parliamentary magnanimity from Agho Oliver, the widow thank God Almighty for for changing her situation from Grass to Grace, making her smile again after years of living in deplorable conditions and neglect.

She saw in Hon. Agho Oliver and Vision for Hope organization, the husband to widows and the destitutes and prayed God to continue to replenish and protect their sources.

The Sunday April 3, 2022, event in Bafut gave villagers a rare opportunity to relive Theordore Roosevelt's statement that 'Nobody cares how much you have and knows, until they know how much you care'.
