Help Find Our Dad
Donation protected
Our father left Cameroon March 16, 2015 for a 4 day business trip to Nigeria. He conducted business and left the hotel in Nigeria March 20 stating he was heading back home to Cameroon. He has not been seen or heard from since then.
Anyone who knows Mr Akem (fondly called Aim Bookshop), knows he was a champion for education and would do anything for his family.
There are still 6 children depending on him for their livelihood - 2 in college/university, 2 starting college/university later this year, 1 in boarding school with 1 going in this year. There are many more depending on him to supply their school books and supplies like he did every year in several of the boarding schools in Cameroon. He was on a life long mission to bring a reading culture to Cameroon.
We have no idea what could have happened to him. He has been sick the past couple of years so we don't know if he got sick and had to be taken to an area hospital that we have not been able to locate. There are also fears of the terrorist group Boko Haram, that has been ambushing/capturing individuals. We have been searching for the past months and have now run out of leads and resources. Please help us with funds to go back to Nigeria and Cameroon and continue our search for him.
We appreciate every effort and every prayer as we seek to find our dad and bring him back home or at the very least, find closure for our family.
Thanks and God bless and reward you all.
