Recommendations to MECUDA-USA
Bongob:MECUDA-USA et al..
Bongob : Please make sure you listen to the tap below, Click the play button to listen to this audio file in your browser, or download this file download the file and turn on your speakers, listen to one of our Meta daughter from Minnesota, a future Meta journalist,( She is only high school, from Wellstone high school like (like SOJO, GBHS Mbengwi) but reporting from land of Ten thousand lakes in the USA. Abu's eloquent report is talking about Mecuda-usa Minnesota. Geraldine Abu reports leading the way up to the MECUDA-SA 2101 in Minnesota come July is one of the many I encourage we all to take time out of your busy schedule and listen to as many times as you can. Excellent Job and hope we can all support her, encourage her, just say things like simple "thank you" so that some day we can overcome these challenges, via Communication, creating information awareness from within and without. MECUDA will benefit more so long as we all can begin to think of our kids and in concrete terms encourage and support them with things like give them scholarships to conduct and carry out field trips, school project in whatever little projects they initiate. Oh!, we have kids amongst us who have skills and talents in music, journalism, lawyering, doctors MD, nursing, Farming, police officers, military, Senators, Congressperson, blacksmiths, diplomats etc... We have been observing these things ever since we came from Washington DC in 2000 and it's almost a decade yet …and we have unconsciously neglect the little things that could eventually matters for our kids to be able to prepare them to compete with other kids, now, I encourage you to please listen to Abu . Let us inspire them now and tomorrow we would leave Meta heritage in better hands. let’s focus on the kids too...I think Mr Ngu, president of Minnesota MECUDA-USA and his vibrant group will agree with me that ,given 5days,say27-31July 2010, will be enough time to spend in the twin cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota as leave time..folks reserve your leave and days for July next year in Minnesota. Talking about time management challenges, time management continues to be one of our main challenges and we continue to not been able to execute our main activities to the fullest. I recommend we do simple things like create a simple Time table and a template. see example attached, it’s about TASA but those are basic things we some time neglect. Its working that simple and we can fix this.
I take my criticism off the air.

Crossing Borders
AUDIO STORY: Tribe from Cameroon carries on traditions in Minnesota
By Geraldine Abu, of Wellstone International High School
Geraldine Abu reports
Click the play button to listen to this audio file in your browser, or download this fileMillions of people immigrate to the United States every year – a foreign country, a foreign people, a foreign culture. Many have to learn to navigate this new country’s system on their own, but for a group of local Cameroonian immigrants, help is just one bowl of Achu and yellow soup away. ThreeSixty’s Geraldine Abu reports.John Akam was a farmer from Cameroon. He moved to Minneapolis in 2004 and died eight months later with a serous heart problem, after surgery.Akam was Meta, an ethnic group of Cameroon. In meta culture, those who die must be buried where they were born.Sendng Akam’s body back to Cameroon would have been too expensive, but the Meta Cultural and Development Association, or MECUDA, helped his family.“My father came here and died and they gave me some money to help transport my father’s corpse back to Cameroon,” said Elizabeth Njoh, Akam’s daughter and a member of MECUDA.MECUDA, a group of immigrant Meta residents in Minneapolis, helps in other ways too.“It is also a means for us to raise funds,” said Derek Nguh, president of the group, “to help other meta people back home and to take care of other projects like building schools, helping with hospitals, roads and others — we have a lot of projects.”People who attend Meta gatherings embrace each other as brothers and sisters. They rely on one another when anyone faces financial problems.“Meta is a tribe that is based in Cameroon, which is a West African country. The people of Meta have a lot of cultural activities and MECUDA brings meta indigenes who are out of Cameroon together in the United States.Everywhere the meta people go they like to find groups like MECUDA to build a community and help other meta people. Mecuda usually meets every month. Loveline Nguh is assistant secretary of the group. She says they rotate places to meet each month.“We meet in different places. We move from each member’s house to another member’s house. In that way we have to know where our sisters and brothers live.”The meeting usually starts with a gospel song, followed by a prayer in the meta language.Then officers update members on old and new business. In the January meeting, members discussed whether or not to charge interest on loans made by the group. After finishing business, they moved onto food. There’s always a table covered with enough food to feed a small group: … and lots of rice.After talking, eating and drinking, the adults meet with the kids for serious body shaking, in other words, dancing.Meetings start in the early evening and go until 3 or even 4 in the morning. Elizabeth Njoh says the best part of Mecuda is the fellowship.When you go there you share ideas with others, you have fun, we eat, we drink, it really makes me feel happy in America, especially in this lonely place that actually, in this part of the world, is a strange place to me. And when I go together to meet with friends and relatives, it makes me feel at home.Mecuda will welcome meta people from all over the United States in 2010 for a nation-wide meeting. The public is welcome to join in. And at the meeting, the group will continue to help people like John Akam’s family. For ThreeSixty, I’m Geraldine Abu, in St. Paul.
