To change the long held beliefs of our people is not all that an easy task. But I have to say that we are slowly and steadily succeeding in our goal of changing the habits of the people to abandon some of those methods. We senstise them using socio-cultural and tribal group meetings, churches and community based organisations CPOs. I can say that we are achieving our goal. As of now we have about some 500 members in our various chapters in different localities of Cameroon. This number may be small as compared to the more than 150.000 stutterers we have here in Cameroon in a population of 15.000.000 people. These our members as people who have changed their minds to follow the modern help that we can afford them. They are able to attend our various support group meetings and get news ideas from the meetings, read the various books we have in our library on stuttering,attend the course we have organised for some 11 of them in which they were taught a breathing technique as a method of controlling stuttering etc.
