Reasons for being a community mobilizer



I grew up as an orphan and I paid my fees alone by selling sweets and buying my books. While in this domain I had the notion that those who have money could help assist. But the reverse was true because most of then didn't encounter the pains and sufferings. when I go to them for help, its from one accuse to another.  Before having my Advance level, I worked as a house help because I loved going to school. After my high school, I ran short of money were I could not continue so I went and study computer software. There I got married and started making my own family. Along the way I had a job as a community vaccinator at Protection Maternalle et Infantile (PMI) Nkwen, North west region, Bamenda, Cameroon. We use to go out to the community and give polio vaccine, meseals, warm medicines, and vitamin. Since I had the ambition of helping the vulnerables, in the field I came across some of them and each time I see them I always think of what I went through in my life. In my days we didn't have such political issues in my country. Today you find young Innocent girls becoming mothers at their young age (12yrs) because of the problem and some of them came asking me for  ways to got ride of the fetus. I feel so bad and as a mother I can encourage such an act. Secondly in my country abortion is a big crime. Thirdly the bible forbids such act. That's the reason why I made up my mine to become a community mobilizer and also to educate them on the importance of ANC.
