Milene Montanha

I found out about Better World Cameroon through the National Employment Fund. With the skills I have and am acquiring, I intend to create my own NGO and be an instrument of change for Cameroon, Africa and the world at large.

The BWC philosophy about education was one of the reasons that attracted me and one of the main reasons why I applied for an internship here

BWC is a great opportunity for me learn more sustainable ways of handling these issues especially in the domain of sustainable agricultural techniques

It was a very precious experience for me. I was able to get to know the ecovillage, I got an insight in the cultural life of the Cameroonians – with much singing and dancing – and I had the possibility to look into the work of Better World Cameroon out of a perspective – the one of the outsider – I’ll probably never see it again.

Volunteering with BWC will pave a way for me to receive training and gain experience in accounting, Administration and Project Management. This will also help me to know how NGOs operate, function and are managed.

BWC to me is an organization with great, idealistic, goals to create a better future. Also, I discovered Cameroon as a great country, with very open and friendly people.
