The USA Cordinator for the Manyu Economic Development Conference (MEDWC) Sesekou Dr. David Tambe has once more called on sons and daughters of Manyu in the USA to work together for a successful economic conference in Akwaya. Reports from MEDWC Secretary General in Yaounde Mr. Enow Chris Oben confirm the official date for the 2010 event has been set for March 22, in Akwaya town with a possible delegation led by our patrons, H.E. Peter Agbortabi and Victor Mengot. It must be recalled that Sesekou Dr. David Tambe has professionally managed MEDWC efforts in the USA with two ground breaking conferences in Tinto (2005) and Eyumojock (2008) providing various forms of assistance to the local communities and the needy. The restructuring of the defunct Manyu world conference in 2003 created an enabling environment to rotate these events amongst the sub-divsions of Manyu.
For Akwaya 2010, conference projects will include, a health fair at a local health center. Conference health fairs provide an opportunity for participating health organizatons and physicians to provide health screening, free medical supplies and free medications to the local communities. Other conference projects will be donation of generators and computers to the Council and Health centers. Because tuition and fees has become an uphill battle for a lot of our young and bright, the conference promotes academic excellence by awarding financial assistance to secondary and high school students in the area.
Today, the Manyu Economic and Development World Conference operates as a regisitered Non-Governmental Organization - created in Mamfe in December 2003, in an attempt to integrate the efforts of the different organizations actively involved in Manyu development. Conferences thus provide a forum for the different organizations and stake holders involved in Manyu development to discuss and tackle problems of Manyu from a common Platform. Participants at each conference include the business community, non profit organizations, healthcare organizations and other NGOs.
