My volunteer experience so far with the Noela Lyonga Foundation has been wonderful. As a volunteer in the Foundation, I have gained the skill of communication which has pushed me to take major responsibilities. I have also built a powerful professional network of people in which some are my mentors today. I have learned how to plan and execute events of which today I run an event planning initiative thanks to the Noela Lyonga Foundation. I still hope for the best ahead in my professional path.

I am a journalist, communication specialist, poetic/inspirational blogger and a Masters student of Applied Linguistics at the University of Buea. My voluntary journey which began in 2016 has been a mixed opportunity. Networking, positive energy, inspiration without borders, project writing/management and leadership/team spirit are the few I can mention of the lots, that Noela Lyonga Foundation has inculcated in me. My being selected in a competitive process and trained as a youth envoy for peace and democracy is thanks to my voluntary experiences. My journey with this foundation continues because I believe as Noela will always say "the best is ahead".

I am a creative writer, spoken word poet and literature teacher at Buea school for the Deaf... I've been a volunteer at Noela Lyonga Foundation since November 2016. My service at this Foundation has been one of the best experiences of my life. I've had chances to network, volunteer and learn a lot of things to develop myself and my career. It was through this NGO that I got my teaching job at Buea School for the deaf... I was sent as a volunteer and later got employed.NLF remains the most important place where I've served within my last year.

I just graduated from my Masters Studies in Peace Conflict and Security, university of Buea. I currently volunteer with NLF. I have been volunteering with the foundation for over two years now. Volunteering with Noela Lyonga Foundation has made me a proactive social worker. I am now able to put into practice my acquired knowledge from school. I am happy because I am comfortably giving back to the community the Skills acquired through this Foundation.

I'm currently a greenhouse farmer; cultivating organic strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers and bell peppers, with Greenhouse Ventures Ltd Cameroon. I have been a volunteer since May 2018 at Noela Lyonga Foundation. I have learnt a lot of things...and indeed I believe volunteerism is not a waste of time as it benefits you and your immediate community at the same time. It might interest you to know that my activities from my volunteering activities landed me the job I currently have now. More strength to Noela Lyonga Foundation for indirectly promoting employment.

I am an MSc student of Molecular Parasitology at the University of Buea. I have been volunteering with Noela Lyonga Foundation for 3years. I've gained a lot of networks which are helping me in my field of expertise and also gained other skills such as website management, project management and community service.
