The project officer for Bread for the World, Mme. Isabelle Malmartel, and her Project Assistant, have praised the PCC Peace Work Office for positively impacting lives across several communities despite limited resources and the conflict plaguing the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon.

The foreign partners were speaking after taking part in two work sessions organized by the PCC Peace Work Office, to present the realities and challenges while implementing projects assigned to the office by the partners.

Both sessions took place at the Presmiic Building on Tuesday January 20 and were presided over by the National Peace Coordinator, Rev. Florence Ebango Ebude, in the presence of staff and the National Coordinator for the Civil Peace Service (CPS) Bread for the World, Mr. Ntui Oben Obi Agbor.

The first working session had in attendance beneficiaries of the recently ended Women Community Mediation Project and graduates of the PCC Peace and Justice Center (PCC PJC), who shared their life transformative testimonies with gratitude to the Peace Office.

Meantime, the second session had the partners engaged in an intensive, open and frank talks with the PCC Peace Work Office on the recently ended Women Community Mediation Project, the PCC Peace and Justice Center (PCC PJC), working in the context of the Anglophone Crisis to name a few.

After listening to the realities shared and how the PCC Peace Office strives to transform lives and communities despite the challenges, the partners expressed satisfaction and chatted a pathway for growth between Bread for the World and the PCC Peace Office.

“We came here because we wanted to know better the work of PCC because we are reading the reports and things like that is nothing when you don’t know better the context, when you don’t speak to the people, and when you don’t speak to the beneficiaries, that’s the reason why we wanted to come to know better the context of their work. I’m deeply impressed by the work that the people are doing here, other work of the Peace Office and of the work of the Beneficiaries of the women who get trained here. I’m deeply impressed because it is a very hard work in a context that is very challenging and I want to thank the people of the PCC of the Peace Office and I want to thank all these women who are engaged in this work and their engagement”. Isabelle Malmartel: Project Officer, Bread for the World.

“Today has been a very special and wonderful day in the PCC Peace Office, we received our partners from Bread for the World Isabelle and Lela and so we were so happy to receive them and it was really a big privilege for us because their coming we believe is going to take the peace office a step ahead. You know these are partners in whom we have been discussing social media through emails, we’ve never seen them one on one and today we had the privilege to meet with them one on one to discuss some salient points to make sure that PCC Peace Office comes to stay”. Rev. Florence Ebango Ebude: National Peace Coordinator (PCC).

Having taken stock of all that was shared, the German partners left satisfied with assurance to transmit the information to Bread for the World’s Hierarchy for possible scrutiny and partnership re-engagement.
