Miss Lukwesa Morin, Miss African Union 2019 at St Frederick college
Visiting St Fredrick College in Bamenda this weekend, Lukwesa Morin, Miss African Union 2019, asked students to continue their studies in order to achieve their dreams. For more than four years, the school has been disrupted in the English speaking North West and South-West regions of Cameroon. According to her, the school today used as a weapon of war is a fundamental violation of human rights
"The future of the African continent rests on the education of young people" she declared.
In front of a crowd of students from this private school, she calls on young people to surpass themselves. "Don't get carried away with easy gain, don't say you can't, no limitation, don't say you're incapable, don't think small, think big, create your own person in your thoughts, if you want to become a doctor, an entrepreneur, it's your absolute right "she said.
The Mubangs and Miss African Union 2019
The socio-political crisis in the English-speaking regions of Cameroon has forced several schools, especially in remote areas to close their doors. According to her, her presence in Cameroon and especially in Bamenda aims to encourage literacy among students. She asked these students at St Fredrick College to realize what lies ahead. "It is an illusion to think that you are inferior to others, always remind yourself that what you do to others, you do to yourself too".
