Together we have succeeded in improving the lives of a community in a remote area in North West Cameroon, Africa. Experience with us what we did after discovering the deplorable latrine, how community came together to help repair the three room school and build community spirit. This project has been dedicated in memory of Rotarian Charles Hill, member of the Rotary Club of Truro who left money designated for an International Project to the Club.
