Emmanuel G.V. Dolo (IF'09, Liberia) on August 9th, 2009I am sure that the entire iLEAP family, especially the Fellows, are very proud of you as I am for this great achievement. You have laid the solid foundation for others to follow. As evident by your blogs and action pictures, you didn’t just serve the needy people of Cameroon; you did so with humble passion and [...]
Andy Davey (TTL'09) on August 6th, 2009I’m very aware that my perspective is bound to be full of biases and blind spots, and that two months is only a tiny sliver of time.

Unfortunately, I don’t have too much to say so let me first highlight Tom’s own great blog about bikes: http://www.bikejuju.com See especially the beautiful photos and descriptions of bikes in Ethiopia. Bikes are not particularly common here in Cameroon. In wealthier [...]
Andy Davey (TTL'09) on August 3rd, 2009Sylvester is connected to so many people here in Southwest Cameroon. One of the other great little NGO’s (non-governmental organizations) with which he works closely is Nature Cameroon. Nature Cameroon is based in Nguti, a very rural town located very close to the Banyang-Mbo Wildlife Sanctuary. Their main work is conservation indigenous style – trying [...]
Andy Davey (TTL'09) on August 2nd, 2009It’s unfortunately not the right time of year to see coffee harvesting. I think I would have learned more about the plant if it was. Nevertheless it was great to see my first (of many) live coffee trees during my stay here in Cameroon. Coffee trees will start producing beans after about 3 years and [...]
