FFWPU/ YSP Cameroon
We held an event to promote peace and prosperity in Wouri Douala, nominating some ambassadors for peace. . A total of about 100 people took part in this event both youths and parent. The event began with National Anthem. After that, President of YSP Cameroon Victoria Tching Bobe, gave the opening remarks.
This time, the panelists spoke on how to promote peace in our society. The secretary general of Women’s Federation Cameroun Mrs. Lua koakou, spoke about the responsibilities of the woman in the family and the importance of having a family as a woman. She emphasized on the values of sexual purity and the consequences of having a relationship outside your marriage or before marriage she equally emphasized on the responsibilities of a woman in the family and the society.
The second panelist was the Honorable senior parliamentarian Mrs. Ngo Roland. She said that even if as a youth, not having parents or guardians is not an excuse to live a wayward life. We all should exploit our youthfulness in a right way.
Another panelist, Mr. Madwing Kwedi said violence towards women should not be justified by putting the blame on women. A relationship should not be by force and that should not be a reason for rape. A normal person with a good character education will not lay hands on anyone. That is why this young parliamentarian emphasized on this aspect of violence against the weaker sex in order to promote a peaceful society.
After the panelist finished with the sharing, we had some entertainment by Douala youths, where participants enjoyed their beautiful dance. After the entertainment, we had the section for nomination of peace ambassadors. The ceremony was coordinated by the UPF Cameroon representative, Rev. Nchia Kamran and we had 9 youths, who were nominated as young peace ambassadors.
The delegate of Wouri, Mr. Ngeund Lazer congratulated the peace ambassadors, and spoke a message of hope asking them to fulfill the responsibility they have and make the best out of it. To conclude this ceremony, YSP signed an MOU with two other associations, ABSED and GREEN WORLD associations. Both these organizations are important associations to promote peace and support the UN sustainable development goals.
The event was then concluded with a family photo and later refreshments.
