Hailing a Beacon of Hope: Mezam MINAS Chief Commends HSUVI’s Two Decades of Service

On a bright Friday, February 2nd, 2024, the HSUVI Bamenda office bustled with a special kind of activity. Mr. Kwende Clif Check, the esteemed Mezam Divisional Delegate of Social Affairs, arrived with his entourage from the Ministry of Social Affairs (MINAS). Their mission? To offer encouragement and express gratitude to the dedicated staff and members of this remarkable association.

Warmly welcomed by the HSUVI team, including enthusiastic trainees and a handful of dedicated EXCO members, the atmosphere crackled with anticipation. The Delegate and his associates were soon immersed in a comprehensive briefing, detailing the organization’s ongoing activities and the various challenges that threatened to impede their vital work.

Mr. Check, visibly impressed by the sheer volume and dedication behind HSUVI’s efforts, expressed his heartfelt appreciation. He lauded HSUVI Bamenda for its unwavering commitment to social inclusion, particularly its two decades of service to the visually impaired and disabled communities within his jurisdiction. He hailed them as an outstanding example of a successful private-public partnership, championing a cause that truly mattered.

But Mr. Check’s visit wasn’t merely one of praise. Recognizing the challenges outlined, he readily offered solutions to many of them. Furthermore, in a move that resonated deeply with the HSUVI team, he directly instructed his subordinate, the Chief of the Bamenda III Social Centre, to prioritize HSUVI’s needs throughout 2024. This decisive action promised to address many of the association’s most pressing concerns, ensuring their vital work could continue unimpeded.

The momentous visit concluded with a delightful light refreshment, where laughter and conversation flowed freely. Photos were taken, capturing the spirit of collaboration and the hope ignited by Mr. Check’s commitment. This wasn’t just a courtesy visit; it was a powerful testament to the impact of HSUVI’s tireless efforts and a promise of continued support from the very highest levels of the local government.
