In Hagerstown, Maryland, we talked with Fr. Nixon Mullah who is from the country of Cameroon. \u00a0 While he now lives in America, Fr. Nixon goes back to his village in Cameroon for a month each year. \u00a0 There he mobilizes groups of people to work on roads, build classrooms, and the like. \u00a0 He told me that the central government in Cameroon is slow to do practically anything. \u00a0 Given that he thought: ‘Why can’t people take the initiative on their own?’ \u00a0 Common sense. \u00a0 What’s more, he and a small group of others are starting a Mambu Development Institute to raise $50,000 so people in the village can have access to clean drinking water in their homes. \u00a0 To donate to the project, write to Fr.
