First, We say a big congrats and courage to all those [ Humanitarians ] who take the front line second after second, day after day as the years go by and tragedies keep striking the surface of the earth, putting their lives on the line just to save other lives. This day we stand still for a moment in memory of those who were to celebrate with us but are not able to do so because in the line of duty they had to depart suddenly for trying to save lives. May their gentle souls Rest In Peace.
WOMEV was an active partner as the International Humanitarian Day was celebrated today in Buea, South West Region of Cameroon under the theme
an occasion where the efforts and sacrifices of Humanitarians all over the world are heavily recognised and applauded.
The strength, courage and success of Humanitarians is deeply rooted in unity and togetherness, reasons why the celebration in Buea brought together partners and colleagues in the Humanitarian family from different organisations in a moment that was full of fun with activities like Tug of Peace, drama, egg race, bag race and football. It was also a time we shared some of the challenges faced in the field and strategies used to overcome them. A powerful session of Questions and answers also iced the celebration not leaving out the exhibitions from some of the organisations present. celebration in Buea was a time to learn and unlearn, a time to connect and be connected with, a time to experience the force and power unity carries. The WOMEV team was an active participant and a present actor, taking part in every slot of the activities. It was a big win to the Humanitarian community
