Milene Montanha

Visiting Cameroon to say hello to old friends I have been lucky enough to see the day to day workings of Better World. I encourage anyone considering a visit to go for it.

Coming to Cameroon to volunteer with BWC for me constitutes a way of finally putting this passion into practice and to see for myself what is possible and what is needed to achieve that.

It is satisfying and rewarding to be here volunteering, providing assistance, direction, suggestions and labour in creating a Better World

My ability to really dig in deep with Better World was somewhat limited by time. One month was the most I could take from my job in the U.S., working in environmental education for local schools. In the end, I feel that some time is better than no time.

I discovered Better World Cameroon some months ago because I was looking for a local based NGO to realize a survey about "Permaculture and food security in Africa"

My time at BWC and Cameroon in general has had its challenges and rewards. I am leaving Cameroon on a good note and hope to maintain the connection with BWC.
