School Visits in Cameroon

Recently our Community Services Director Susan Eberth travelled to Cameroon to volunteer with the Ape Action Africa “AAA” project, something she has been doing since 2005.  Our Rotary Club sponsors the AAA education program since we believe in the power of education.  Investing in the youth of today secures a better world for tomorrow.  During her visit she was able to spend some time with the educational staff and meet some of the students.
