About Project_Cameroon_07
Like many African-Americans, I recently took a DNA test to determine my maternal genealogy. My test results reveal my maternal genetic origins derive from Cameroon. The test specifically traced me to the Tikar peoples of the northwest province of Cameroon. Needless to say I am extremely grateful to have this knowledge. I have always wanted to know my specific African origins. I have scheduled a trip to Cameroon for mid-July 2007. I plan to volunteer with a development organization to help Cameroonians in need and to ensure companionship for myself during the trip. I feel it is important to document my trip for my family and others who might find this odyssey interesting. To that end, I have decided to produce a video documentary that chronicles the trip from beginning to end. My good friend Aaron has graciously agreed to help me produce this documentary. We will use this blog as a communication hub as we develop the documentary. We'll also use the blog to express our feelings about the trip and the documentary as it develops--BeLinda
