Volunteer Work
In my three years of seminary formation, I spent three months on internship in three different parishes (one month in each year). In this time of internship, I worked with my host pastors in different outreach programs especially catering for the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of victims of the ongoing Anglophone crisis in Cameroon. I continued this volunteer work when I became a full-fleshed parish pastor.
