ASSOBOM will reinforce the capacities for a start of existing organisations dealing with orphans, widows, handicapped and other grassroots people and issues.

We intend to back their efforts and go beyond as our means permit.In Mbalmayo where SOS Village d'enfants du cameroun is located we'll organise feeding programs for orphans living in the orphanage and outside, provide food, clothing and medication as well as some intertaining items like balls, toys etc.

At this point we are awaiting a visit ccalendar from Mercy League international.

Our vision is big and our means are narrow ,so any support is welcomed. We'll also greatly appreciate your prayers.If you have something to contribute to help us bring hope please contact us at s_amoa@yahoo.fr or assobom2009@yahoo.fr

Updates from the group.

Dear members and visitors,
We held a monthly board meeting as usual last sunday july 5, 2009 .Members were updated about our activities. Next meeting August 9,2009.
Our group is yet to be a Mercy League International Affiliate.We need to set an association which meets their requirements:
-start a group and consolidate members
-affiliate the group to a church
-and incorporate the association
So far the Government has required us to start as an association (not as a non governmental organisation: NGO) and change our denomination as well as some of our objectives.
Members are required to attend meetings and pray for the group.
sincerely,
the administrator of the cause
