Yaounde III Council: Belgium donates Covid-19 preventive kits

Yaounde III Council: Belgium donates Covid-19 preventive kits.

The Ambassador of Belgium to Cameroon, Stéphane Doppagne. has handed over symbolic gifts to the Yaounde III Council as a sign of solidarity from the people of Belgium to the people of Cameroon in the fight against the Coivd-19 pandemic. The gifts comprised over 1,200 cubes of savon and face masks with buckets designed to some 30 Sub-examination centers in Yaounde III Sub division.

Handing over the gifts during a ceremony last Friday July 3, 2020 at the Lycée General Leclerc in Yaounde, Ambassador Stéphane Doppagne said the people of Belgium have been greatly affected by the Covid-19  pandemic with almost 10, 000 deaths.

He said his government is out to assist Cameroon which has been less impacted as far as deaths are concerned but greatly affected economically as many people cannot continue working and even afford face masks which is one of the barrier measures put in place to prevent Covid-19.

That is why the government of Belgium decided to support the plan of action adopted by the Yaounde III Sub-divisionl Council Mayor who has put in place measures to curb COVID -19 in the municipality, particularly in schools.

The Mayor of Yaounde III, Luc Owona, said: “With gratitude the council is happy to receive the gifts of solidarity from Belgium, designed for our children”. The ceremony is an act of engagement that the Belgian government undertook to help the council continue its sensitization campaigns to curb Covid-19. The gifts, Mayor Owona said, also came to meet the promise he made to students during the examination period. That is, an examination period without Covid-19.

The Divisional Delegate of Secondary Education for the Mfoundi Division, Dr. Sidonie Ndemba who received the gifts on behalf of the Minister of Secondary Education said it was timely because they greatly needed such gifts. She said her department is in need of such gifts at this moment to curb Covid-19 not only in students, but also among teachers and administrative corps. “We are going to use the gifts to protect our candidates. On behalf of the Minister of Secondary Education, I say thanks to the Mayor of Yaounde III and the Ambassador of Belgium to Cameroon”, Dr. Sidonie Ndemba noted.
