Event: Victoria Oil & Gas Network evening for SBA, Douala, Cameroon

/in , , /by

Serge and the Serge Betsen Academy team arrived in Doula due to an invitation from their partner Gaz du Cameroun, a subsidiary of Victoria Oil & Gas in England, to share the activities of the Serge Betsen Academy to the international community of the region.

While there they took the opportunity to visit the drill sites and installation in Douala. They were most impressive!

Here are the pictures from the visit.

This visit was also an opportunity for our rugby coordinator, Abaa, to present us with the local youth in order to possibly develop SBA rugby activity in Douala one day.  We will meet with others in order to make a decision.

Help Nico and Manu to raise funds for the London Marathon!

/in , /by

Nicolas and Emmanuel are raising funds for our charity as part of the London Marathon. They are training hard to get ready for this rewarding experience on Sunday 23rd April. If Serge doesn’t tackle them on the bitumen during a training session, they should both cross that long-awaited goal line ;) !

We would appreciate if you gave us a hand by making a donation on this crowdfunding platform. We need your contribution for one specific project. As you know, we are currently finishing the building of our centre “Eau Claire” in Cameroon, this is due to complete at the end of April 2017. As part of this initiative, Nicolas and Emmanuel have set the objective to raise £3,000 that will be specifically used, by our team, to buy additional medical equipment, to finance our prevention campaigns for 2017 and assure the visits of two doctors twice a week in the new centre. Thanks to your help, these facilities will improve medical access to this population in a remote area.

We’re counting on your support and we thank Nicolas and Emmanuel for representing us!
