The First Lady, Mrs. Chantal BIYA, has
distributed Christmas gifts to over 1,000 vulnerable and underprivileged
children in Yaounde. This was during a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony at the
Chantal BIYA Foundation (FCB) on Thursday 22 December 2016.
Nearly
100 beneficiaries stood at the main entrance of the foundation, and waved mini
flags of the FCB upon the arrival of their benefactor, who was welcomed by
Cameroon’s Minister of Public Health, Mr Andre Mama Fouda. This was combined
with uniform dance steps in the sweet melodies of a budding artist called Ben
Martins.
Mrs.
Chantal BIYA, Founding President of the FCB, proceeded with the distribution of
the gifts.
Sick
children, orphans and selected pupils received two packages each from Mrs
Chantal BIYA,. This was delivered in four phases. Pupils received their
presents in two groups. They were placed at the main entrance of the FCB and at
the esplanade of the newly constructed Centre for Paediatric Cardiac Surgery.
Sick children in each ward and orphans of the Children First Centre equally
benefitted from the foundation’s benevolence.
The
donation was made simultaneously with a guided tour of the principal units of
the FCB, coupled with musical interludes. Traditional dance groups; popular
bikutsi artist, Amah Pierrot; the “Chorale Spirit Songs de Meyomessala” choir;
and the “Voix du CĂ©nacle” choir, animated at the event.
Mrs.
Chantal BIYA’s chaired a closed-door meeting with the Minister of Public
Health. She later took group photographs, with the staff of the FCB and some
CERAC members, to close the event.
