The construction of an ultra modern dormitory for Saint Joseph's College, Sasse, Buea, is underway.
The Principal of the College, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Ngwesse Epie made this revelation to The Post after a planning meeting on how to forge ahead with the project."Our intention is to make life in Sasse worth living and much more comfortable for the students.
Top on our priority is the construction of an ultra modern dormitory. This is a project initiated by the Parents Teachers Association, PTA, of Sasse College. Now, the college authorities are coming in to assist the PTA in their drive to canvass for support from Sasse Old Boys and their various associations popularly known as SOBANS and the friends of Sasse College," he explained.
Rev. Fr. Epie said the dormitory will lodge 600 students. Therefore, to ensure that this lofty project gets to its logical end, a special thanksgiving and fundraising activities have been slated on the college campus on Sunday, April 27.
"We want to express our deep thanks to the parents for the enormous contributions they have been making and the SOBANS who have been very supportive to their alma mater, for the upkeep of the college and the students.
They should not relent, now Sasse College needs to take a new step towards the management of modern secondary and high schools in Cameroon and the rest of the world," he appealed.
The PTA President, Commandant Augustine Njotsa, saw the need of the dormitory they are putting up for the students. "The student population has been progressively increasing but the infrastructure has not changed. So, we need to decongest the students for them to also enjoy the good life we had when we were in Sasse more than three decades ago," said Njotsa.
This was the same feeling all the parents who have children in Sasse College had. "It's very positive in the minds of the parents. We are done with the foundation stage of the project worth FCFA 30,000 million. This has been the efforts and contributions of my fellow parents. I say a big thank you to them for what have been done and what they will continue to do.

The upcoming fundraising activities promise to be a booster to the project. So, we invite all our well-wishers to be ours on Sunday, April 27," said one parent.
