Background
This blog is a newsletter for our family and friends, and a record for us, of our one year of volunteer service in Cameroon. We work with an NGO network named RELUFA, and with the Presbyterian Church. Ann is writing articles and Chris is programming and teaching. We plan to return home to San Francisco in October 2008.
