Kelise, 22, was schoolmates with one of our daughters, Marie, in Bamenda. They often visited our home, and it was clear Kelise had a special connection with our family. Some years ago, we visited Kelise's parents in small Babanki, and since then, our relationship has remained strong.
During her GCE A Levels preparation, Kelise surprised us by turning off her smartphone and focusing entirely on her studies. This level of dedication from a 20-year-old was remarkable. In July, she traveled all the way from Bamenda to visit us in Yaounde, which was a delightful surprise.
Kelise is currently studying agriculture at the University of Bamenda, a choice that aligns perfectly with her upbringing on a farm and her parents' occupation as peasant farmers. Despite facing criticism, she has remained determined in her decision, which is truly inspiring.
Whenever Kelise is with us, she seizes every opportunity to plant something, teaching us valuable lessons about dedication and passion for one's craft. We are grateful to be a part of her life and are encouraged by the positive decisions young people like Kelise are making.
Let's keep Kelise in our prayers as she continues to pursue her dreams and shine bright.
