Hi Kehlen, Thanks a lot for reading this article. No, not all those children are CWS, (ie Children who stutter.)We went and talked at a school to children about stuttering and got those pictures when they were on their way to school. Some people who stutter do not always feel comfortable joining self help groups. When they do venture to come for a meeting, they find it very rewarding especially when they see other PWS talking openly about stuttering. I am presently in Bamenda till this Friday the 9th of October as I would be traveling back to Douala that night. I would be again here in Bamenda as from the 19th of October for a longer stay. I am working at the Bamenda Coordinating Centre for Studies on Disabilities and Research BCCSDR. The centre is organising an open day on Thursday October 22 2009 to mark International Stuttering Awareness day ISAD. There is a self help group for people who stutter that meets at this Centre. If you see any person interested in having information on stuttering, refer the person there. The Centre is found opposite BamendaII council Office at Ntarikon. If you wish us to talk more, here is my email address Joseph.Lukong@yahoo.com or that of the Centre is Bccsdr@yahoo.ca By the way are you Jeroline Kehlen who was one of the interpreters during the First African Conference on stuttering held in Douala?
