As we are immersed in the holiday season, and people at home are bustling about and shopping and gathering to celebrate, family is in the forefront of most people’s minds. I can’t say that I’m bustling about as much as I am being tussled about by others’ bustling when I go out here in Cameroon, but I am thinking a lot about my family. And I think I can speak for most volunteers when I say that family is in the forefront of our minds.
“No matter what you’ve done for yourself or for humanity, if you can’t look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished?”
—Elbert Hubbard
I want to take this opportunity to thank my wonderful family for all the support, encouragement, and understanding they have given me over the years. I may be far away at the moment, but you are always close to my heart and in my thoughts. Miss you all very much. Happy Holidays!
Your son, brother, nephew, cousin, grandson,

Happy Holidays from Cameroon
Here’s wishing everyone at home a happy holiday season from Cameroon. Things are very festive here in Bamenda, where I’ll be celebrating this year, with decorations and Christmas carols everywhere. Can’t say the same for the recently passed Hanuka though, but some of us volunteers celebrated together. May all your wishes come true and may the New Year start festively, productively, and with the utmost happiness!
