Review for Full-Circle Learning Inc, Grass Valley , CA, USA
My journey with FCL since 2019 as a volunteer and facilitator in Cameroon has been full of lifetime memories and a continuous embrace of affirmative actions for positive change and impact creation. It has been an opportunity to better myself as part of the human family while also educating others, the young and the old on how to be change agents, impact creators, and above all humanitarians. For us in Cameroon, this has been a beautiful experience as schools and communities strive daily to practice the modules set out by the Full Circle Learning program. It is fast becoming a way of life for us, especially the very young students who get exposed to better ways of being part of the human family. The habits of hearts, for example, have been a gateway to better standards and character formation across schools and communities, and more than ever before, we see a lot of love, empathy, and responsibility demonstrated by the children. Through the conflict bridge, we all have learned a better way of resolving conflicts amongst ourselves and seeing the good in others.
Being a facilitator for Cameroon has also been a personal growth journey. It's been mixed with health challenges but each time I look at the younger ones who are already practicing the FCL programs and the impacts they are creating in their communities, I feel elated and fulfilled. My greatest joy will be seeing more and more children in the schools and communities have the same experience across Cameroon, where we learn to serve with love.
Our work in Cameroon especially in 2022 has attracted a lot of admiration from the educational board in the country, the national Press and TV, school leaders, community leaders, and Moreso, very exciting for the children. The training we organized for teachers across different regions was warmly embraced and they look forward to more of such rich exchange and how best to make education sustainable and impactful. The community grants given to children at schools have enabled another dimension of education. The children have been able to come up with an initiative “Gardening projects” and worked so hard on the farm. They were able to share their vegetables after the harvest, with the old, the sick, and the internally displaced in the conflict zone. So much love and empathy. I could write so much about this exciting journey with the FCL for it has exceeded expectations.
