January 28, 2009 - Kakki Chief visit at Titi-Manyka home - wants Vocational Center; dtr seropositive; dtr to become WEH soldier

The Traditional Chief of Kakki surprised Ruth and David last night. When they arrived at his village to deliver some food bags, the villagers were seated and welcomed them with a traditional village call of welcome. The Chief spoke at length about how important WEH is to his village. He spoke of the planned Vocational Center and invited WEH to build on land that he would donate for that purpose.

Today he visited the Titi-Manyaka home with his daughter, a young woman who has AIDS and who has just volunteered to work as a WEH volunteer in Kakki which is their village. She hopes that by working for WEH, there may be some help with her health expenses - in Cameroon the AIDS medications are provided free by the government, but all labs and other related expenses are not covered. They wondered if WEH could help her in exchange for her volunteer services with WEH.
