Since after arriving from the UK, Joe has spent time researching and writing a web design training manual.
He conducted the first training session from October 30 to December 17, 2006 with 7 students in class. The students received a thorough foundation on HTML and CSS. With the knowledge, the students can then be able to design and maintain websites and this creates employment opportunities.
We need help with volunteers who can help develop curricula for the following advanced training modules (online or on-the-spot here in Buea):

It cost only 100,000 FCFA (US$ 200, GBP 101) to equip 10 unemployed youths with web design skills so they can do web design jobs for a living. You can donate online via PayPal to help train 10 youths. Thank you for your help.

The Minister Delegate at Cameroon’s Ministry of External Relations has written a letter of congratulations to Tinshu Genesis Gemuh Executive Director of Helps International (HINT) in recognition of the Prize he received from the hands of the Mayor of Rome as well as HINT’s efforts to help bridge the digital divide by providing access and training to the new ICTs.
The letter dated January 24 2005 with reference number 00219/DIPL/D3/SDCNG/ONG was received as a big surprise as all of us at HINT did not know that the government was aware of our little efforts to ease access to information and communication in our local communities.
One of our major projects is providing access and training to information and communication technologies through computers connected to the internet. We have two main levels of training: Basic and Advanced.

Our mission is to improve the well-being of the underprivileged in our community through education, skill development, and job creation.
