Gearing Up for 2021-2022 Academic Year!

July 3, 2021

Good Shepherd SLF and Good Shepherd Academy Association Boards are busy with frequent joint zoom meetings as we discuss plans to continue the legacy of Sister Jane Mankaa at Good Shepherd Academy in Bafut, Cameroon. The cooperation of both boards has been outstanding as we move forward together with God’s guidance. Reflecting Our reflection on…

Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all. – Aristotle

If you think you’re too small to make a difference, you haven’t spent a night with a mosquito. – African Proverb

The highest result of education is tolerance. – Helen Keller

One child, one teacher, one book, and one pen, can change the world. – Malala Yousafzai

Secondary school in Cameroon is not mandatory resulting in a large gap between school capacity and the number of potential students. You can help change that!

EDUCATION yields a larger impact than ANY other form of help or aid we can give to improving health, raising income, promoting gender equality, and reducing overall poverty.

For every year a child goes to school, HIV rates decrease, income potential and employment rates increase, girls marry later, early pregnancies decrease, and health is elevated for the entire family.

In Cameroon there is only one teacher for every 45.6 primary school students. In SECONDARY SCHOOL the number increases to nearly 100 STUDENTS PER TEACHER.
