 Grace Charitable and Rehabilitation Organization   (CRACARO) has been tagged “The Good Samaritan” by parents plagued by the  Anglophone crisis in Bamenda.Pa Ntoh Benjamin an IDP with a battalion of children recently hailed  the NGO, CRACARO for assisting his children with exercise  books, school bags etc to enable them go back to school.Pa Ntoh an internally displaced  from Ngoketunjia   in an  exclusive with The Vanguard, said he was worried that  2022-2023 was going to be  a difficult school year for his children, given the his financial hardship orchestrated by his displacement.   “Fortunately for him  an NGO call CRACARO donated a huge consignment of exercise books and school bags to three of  his  children on the eve of  school resumption .    “I shed tears of joy when I saw my children coming home with exercise books in their school bags.  It was a heave of relief. I only pray God to continue to bless the NGO and also touch the hearts of other well to do donor organizations and Cameroonians to come the aid of the IDP’s and other vulnerable people” he said. The material aid to Bamenda 1 school children was timely given the untold hardship most IDP’s are going through in most towns and cities of the country.The coordinator of the NGO   Chaibi  Martin  Sam, told The Vanguard that “the only treasure a parent can give his child, is education. He expressed worries about the future of  Anglophone children who have been deprived of their Rights to Education six year running.  EDUCATION IS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT OF EVERY CHILD IN THIS UNIVERSE REGARDLESS OF THE ETHNIC, RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL BACKGROUND.  The lacuna created by the holdup has fragmented the human resource base of the region. The socio- economic and political life of the region has been annihilated and would take the region decades to recover the material and human looses. This he says explain why he has given priority to education.    He promised to carry out the same executrices next year given the means.
