This is what a French volunteer told us :
"The person in charge nationally suggested this twinning to our team. The proposal was discussed : the fact that we spoke the same language and that we wanted to broaden our horizons through twinning were two positive points.
Thanks to the arrival of a young woman from Yaounde in a Tarbes parish, a network of people from Cameroon was set up in Tarbes, a network of friendships, knowledge of the country and its customs. After giving it a lot of thought, a detailed analysis, advice from the Cameroonians, the presence of a nun in Yaounde, the project was approved."

Evolution of the twinning

Fundraising : "we worked at it together, Cameroonians in Tarbes prepared a typical meal (peanut chicken) and took charge of the day's mass. In two fundraising operations, the requested sum was found and sent via the Daughters of Charity."
The exchanges between the two teams continue in the form of letters, faxes and photos.


Strong Points

- the integration of the Cameroon women into our Tarbes parish
- the integration of one of them in our team and her joy at the trust we placed in her.

Weak Points

The lack of knowledge on the progress of the project in Yaounde. A return of information on the follow-up of the project in indispensable for the motivation of the Tarbes team and the continuity of the twinning.
