Hello friends, family, and everyone! I am Leo Dilles. From October 2024 to April 2025, I volunteered for CAMAAY (Cameroon Association of Active Youths). I need help for BOTH orphans AND my STEM students.

Here is the orphan story:

In the Oku region of Cameroon, where many families have been displaced by the ongoing crisis, access to education is a lifeline. The Education is Hope Project will provide at least 100 children with complete educational kits, giving them the tools to learn, grow, and thrive. By keeping children in school, the project strengthens entire communities-empowering the next generation, fostering resilience, and contributing to long-term social stability. Every kit provided is an investment not only in a child's future, but of the community as a whole.

With your support, we can put these essential tools directly into the hands of children who need them most. No gift is too small-each contribution brings hope, restores dignity, and opens the door to a brighter future. Together, we can ensure that education remains a light in even the darkest times.

The STEM story:

I started and taught a STEM club for middle school aged kids. The STEM club involved lectures, labs, experiments, outdoor activities, games and other such activities in order to teach STEM. The goal of the club is to get students to engage in STEM and prepare for STEM-related activities and jobs in adulthood and learn to be creative problem solvers and work as individuals, in pairs, and in groups. We hope to prepare students for after-school and increase their chances of doing well in life by standing out and living sustainably.

The vast majority of students wish to be doctors.

The club has been started, but needs to continue. I am no longer in Cameroon, but still aim to help out from a distance. The club needs to expand and grow. In time, we intend to extend the club to multiple schools, multiple grades, and include French-speaking students (Cameroon is bilingual between English and French). They need money to get school supplies, science equipment, and to be able to rent space.

Please help make this possible with donations.
