Thanks to betterplace and all supporters I was able to pay the school fees for all four children this school season again.



I am a single mother of two but take care of four kids: My teenage son Wally, my little daughter Ava-Joy, my nephew Titende Amslem Mbanghonyui and my niece Mbubeh Marie-Benedict. Amslem, the youngest son of my late elder sister who died of AIDS in 2007, and her granddaughter Marie-Benedict, who lived for all her life with her grandmother, are both orphans.



Wally, being almost 16, is attending secondary school in Yaoundé. Ava-Joy likes learning at pre-school in our home town Bamenda. Marie-Benedict and Amslem live with a relative in another suburb of Bamenda close to their school. For both life changed a lot, being orphans without hope and no proper education they both can go to school and prove that your support is worthwhile.



Reason why this application on betterplace to help all four children to continue with their education and have hope for the future.

  Ich moechte dieses Projekt "Schulgeld fuer meine Kinder" gerne als Fuersprecherin unterstuetzen, obwohl ich Mary nicht persoenlich kenne. Allerdings lese ich regelmaessig ihre Blogs. Ich weiss aus eigener Erfahrung, wie wichtig es ist, eine gute Ausbildung zu bekommen, um spaeter ein selbstaendiges und selbstbewusstes Leben fuehren zu koennen. Insbesondere fuer Maedchen bedeutet oekonomische Abhaengigkeit (in die sie ohne eigenen Beruf rasch geraten) einen der groessten Fallstricke im Leben. Ich moechte dazu beitragen, dass Marys Kinder wie auch ihre Grossnichten und -neffen, die schon den Verlust ihrer Eltern und der Grossmutter verkraften muessen, wenigstens ohne Probleme ihre Schule weiter besuchen koennen. Ausserdem moechte ich Mary als alleinerziehende Mutter unterstuetzen, die mit einem viel zu geringen Einkommen nicht nur fuer ihre beiden eigenen Kinder sorgt, sondern auch noch die Fuersorge fuer den Sohn und die Enkelin ihrer verstorbenen Schwester uebernommen hat. Dafuer habe ich grossen Respekt! Ich moechte Sie daher bitten, diese Familie zu unterstuetzen. Bitte helfen Sie mit, das Schulgeld fuer die vier Kinder zu finanzieren.

    Good morning Mr Diyali. Thanks for taking interest on Better Place. To submit a project on the site, you have to be on the site first and then click on "Submit a new project". You will just need to follow the instructions that will follow and at the end, you click submit. So fill the required information and that is what makes up your project. I wish you good Luck as you embark on that process. Mary

  Dear Mary, I really would like to help you with this, but, I have no access to your project - and I don't know, how to change this... I would suggest you, that you ask Christian Illner from the betterplace-team, to help you... they can do this... but it will take some time. Or you can contact Hannelore Knott, she is also member of the betterplace-team. Or: on your personal page you go to the button "register project" (this is to be seen if you click on "more" at the right side), then you can fill in the title and the description of the new project and add the needs... How did you present the projects up to now? It is the same process... With warm regards Gabriele
