In the charming village of Omvan, children look forward to their playtime and school hours. Why do they do this? Because they now have access to the brand-new library donated by Pierre Thierry Noah Foundation, filled with captivating books. Each book contains a different subject, and the children are delighted to discover which they find most appealing. It’s an extraordinary opportunity for them to better understand the wonders of these subjects and to grasp what they can bring them for the future.
Dénis loves math. Thanks to the book he has discovered, he has a better understanding of the concepts taught by his teacher. Every evening, he copies out the exercises and solves them at home, checking the answers the next day. He even uses his new knowledge to help his mother with her accounts when she comes home from her evening market sales. He’s very proud of this.
Marie, for her part, is fascinated by the natural sciences. In her book, she learns all about flowers. She now knows every part of a hibiscus flower, easily recognizing the pistil and calyx. She can also distinguish birds, and can tell the difference between a wasp and a bee at a glance. Marie marvels at the diversity of nature and feels connected to every element that surrounds her.
History buff Vannelle dives into her books to learn more about ancient civilizations, in particular the Egyptian civilization. She discovers fascinating facts about the pyramids, the pharaohs and even a few Roman numerals. But what touches her most are the stories about her own country, Cameroon. She loves to share a historical anecdote she’s learned: did you know that Cameroon is the cradle of one of Africa’s oldest kingdoms, the Bamoun Kingdom? Vannelle is proud to be able to tell these stories to her classmates and help preserve her country’s cultural heritage.
Omvan’s new school library brings much more than knowledge to the children. It nurtures their passion, broadens their horizons and gives them the tools to explore and understand the world around them. Dénis, Marie, Vannelle and their friends discover the power of books and become their ambassadors, proudly sharing their new knowledge with those around them. These children now have access to an infinite universe of discovery and learning. Their dreams blossom as they turn the pages of their favorite books. The library is a magical place where knowledge becomes power, and every child finds the key to becoming the hero of his or her own story.
Together, we can continue to nurture the dreams and ambitions of Cameroon’s children. Their passion for learning and their desire to succeed are the pillars of our common future. However, these opportunities would not be possible without the generous support of people like you. Join us in our mission to promote education and cultivate the future leaders and heroes of our continent. Together, we can open doors, awaken passions and provide opportunities that will transform lives.
Make a donation today and together, let’s build a future where every child has access to the education and resources they need to realize their dreams. Because every child deserves the chance to become a hero in his or her own story.
