As a child, we are thought to see what the entire world has
to offer us; but as we mature, we have to face that hard realization, that we
need to offer something to our world and even to ourselves. As a diligent
student in secondary school; I was naïve enough to believe good grades at
school will open up any career door I wanted. It is a good thing to encourage
our young ones to aspire good grades, degrees and certificates. However, what
do they do when even a 4GPA can’t get them a job, what do they do when the world
the look up to for so much turns its back on them? For two years, I carried my
certificate on a fruitless job hunt. It was then it dawn on me, that our
obstacles present us with opportunities. It was at this point I realized the
plight that continuously lingers in this blessed country of mine. Every year thousands
of students finish university to face joblessness. In an economy plagued by
corruption and embezzlement, what happens to all these graduates? Will moving
abroad solve this problem? How many Cameroonian youths living abroad are
actually better off? How many Cameroonian youths living abroad are actually in
to legal activities? We know the answers to these questions. Cameroon is our
home. If we don’t do anything to change the conditions at home, no one will. We
can’t abandon a ship because it is broken. If it is broken, we fix it. It is
for this reason I was motivated to come up with the Cameroon Dream Builders. This
is a team of Cameroonians determined to have their dreams realized in Cameroon.
We are out to inspire, motivate and build entrepreneurs who would provide jobs
for the many graduates out there. We welcome partners, advisers and members.
Change does not come without sacrifice. We are welcoming Cameroonians within
and abroad to share in our vision of making Cameroon great. Change is coming.
It starts with you, it starts with me.
