The representative of the national queen mother, Mrs. Célestine KETCHA COURTES, and the divisional delegate for women’s empowerment and the family addressed the participants during the occasion at the Lenale Ndem Palace in Melong. The Kings, Traditional leaders and queen-mothers present pledged to put the community hall into good use and prove their worth and capacities in the development of their various communities. At the end of the ceremony, queen-mothers, princesses, mothers and daughters present held a working session with the divisioanl delegate to prepare an action to animate the space donated to them at Lenale Ndem Palace. The participants visited the zones created for hair dressing, seam stressing, computer ITC training organisation of educative group talks and the secretariat and library for documentation their activities. In the address by HRM Fonjinju Tatabong, he thanked all for accepting to his invitation to attend the official visit of the multi-purpose women’s empowerment centre constructed in his palace. He said, women in general and queen mothers in particular play a very important role in the functioning and development of palaces and traditional communities in Cameroon. This explains why he was motivated to initiate the project to empower them for better out-comes within the frame work of the policy of the World Coming Together To Make a Diffirence (WOCOTOMADI). This is an honour and humbling opportunity for me to ddress you on the occasion of our national meeting in Bonendale-Douala. . I thank you all so very much for giving me this wonderful opportunity. He added that when leaders meet, it is opportunity for them to take stock of their successes and plan for the way forward to enhance peace and unity in the different communities by living together in Cameroon and the world as a whole. In his words, we should be able to Spotlight new inititiayves through exhibitions and arts programs within our communities and celebrate with a roof garden cocktail. Many participants at the occasion saw Lenale Ndem Palace which started in a Forest with many Trees as a miracle of development. He noted that UNESCO Cameroon officials have visited the palace in the past and caught up with artists and university professors of Arts and culture. He invited all to celebrate WOCOTOMADI with Arts and culture connecting with our Communities, putting men and women together for self-development, peace and unity. This is because each community is named after specific works and activities relating to the Hidden Forests or characters in Cameroon. I plead that 100% of funds raised by WOCOTOMADI during meeting sessions should be directed towards our national Arts and Cultural heritage. : It is during arts and cultural festivals that the vast majority of exhibitions and events bring women and men together, freely and open gates to the entire public to join for development without boundaries. Cameroon’s more than 250 ethnic communities with different languages harbor more than Over 5000 Artists and Fine Arts for everyone lodged in Lenale Ndem UNESCO Museum in Melong. By meeting regularly, WOCOTOMADI members agree to help support the development of each other, art and culture which remains the base of all identities. We shall remain ever inspired by our late great grandmothers’ grinding stones for grinding maize, groundnuts and other grains, he emphasized. Inspired by the late great grandmothers’ grinding stones for grinding maize, ground nuts, corn and other grains, he forged all members of WOCOTOMADI to preserve the heritage left behind in royal kingdoms all over the world. HRM Fonjinju strongly believes that ARTS & CULTURE engagement Programs will remain a cross collaborative activity of a variety of organizations within different communities, all dedicated to building a better community through know-how that protects and is also used for solving problems and empowering women in societyies around the world. With these simple words, He wished all persons present at the event a delightful and rich meeting session in lenale Ndem Melong. https://camlinknews.blogspot.com/2019/08/visit-of-multi-functional-centre-of.html
