The outcome of this meaning is an ICT (Information Communication Technology) centre at Borstal Institute. This was made possible by the Americans; Kathy Knight and Ryan Scott Halderman who traveled to Cameroon as volunteers of CAMVISION TRUST. They got interested with the concept and ideology of AFASDACAM.


To this end, we visited three Orphanages and the Juvenile Delinquency Center - Borstal Institute in Buea. After examining the problems of the orphans and juvenile delinquents, we decided to act. As a result, they donated gift of clothes and balls with the collaboration of their family members who visited Cameroon during the Xmas vacation in 2006.

The set up of Borstal Institute is to run vocational training schemes along side behavioral modification. These programs are not functional. In this wise, AFASDACAM in collaboration with the authorities of Borstal Institute and the Americans had a meeting to see where they could assist. The Americans then decided on the ICT center for computer training and cyber café to train inmates in computer skills and also as a means for the centre to generate income for the sustainability of the project. The project was worth six million (6.000.000) FCFA.

Ryan also carried out sports activities and taught in the Juvenile Delinquency Center and some primary schools in Buea.
