Bamenda (Mezam) — The 2007 Christmas season came with blessings for the disabled and the disadvantaged of the North West. Most of them were out in their crutches and braises receiving gifts at the head office of the Community Resource Center for the Disabled and the Disadvantaged (CRCDD). The assistance came from Jerry Club, a social group in Bamenda that gave TV sets, a CD player, Savons, Toilet tissues, food items and CFA 50.000 to CRCDD.
Handing over the gifts, the president of Jerry Club, Djam Richard said it is a way to sympathise with the plight of the disabled. He told the disabled that it is not what one gives that matters but the love one puts in the giving. The coordinator of CRCDD, Limen Florence Ndwengwa, on behalf of the disabled, thanked the Jerry Club for the largess. After enumerating what the disabled can do, such as repair of crutches, production of powder soap, do craft work, embroidery, sewing etc, she said disability is not inability. She also acknowledged Deheri Monitor for training some disabled in computer soft ware and CATTU North West for providing books to disable children and children of parents with disability. Though they are disabled, they are very ambitious and hope for a brighter future she concluded.
