The adventure begins in 2001, at our arrival to TOLE- BUEA
A small village of the Southwest Province of Cameroon.
One of the important activities of the villagers
is the cultivation of teafor a local Company
(TOLE TEA)
After a census of the patients of the village
we noted a big number of Malaria and
Epileptic patients
We decide to work for Epileptics patients,
since there isno one taking care of
them.
To help us, we meet a team of Nurses Sisters
(Soeurs Hospitalères) of Douala.
Difficulties show up right from the start, because we don’t have any place
for the consultation.
Another major difficulty was to convince
the population that the Epilepsy can be treated…
Epilepsy is not of a mystical origin, as the popular belief wants it.
With time, and with the first results, the reputation of the fight against the
Epilepsy is established in the region
It becomes imperative to get a place of
our own to begin consultations earlier.
We got a land from Pius Awa Bishop of Buea
Diocese
The Carmelites’ Sisters of Sasse help us to find
sponsors for the construction of
the bridge.
…And in 2004, the construction of the bridge begins. It’s a little
bit difficult, because the land is steep,
and a lot of embankment is necessary
After the construction of the bridge, the small health centre baptized
“THE GRACE” can begin.
We won’t wait for the end of the construction to
use the Centre.
Today the construction of the Centre is almost finished. We are satisfied not
onlyfor the construction, but also for the
general results.
We have about 200 patients, coming from
various surrounding villages.
A part of the epileptics, we receive some patients that present other illnesses
Though at the beginning, care was completely free, we have now instituted a
cash-box. Patients are invited to participate
GRATITUDE FROM
THE GRACE.
GOD BLESS YOU
