Cartoonists Rights Network Cameroon

Also understand the money problem of my fellows. But they are functionning for
money, only for it. Since the time Coup d'crayon began hosting seminar, we have
an open bank account. At the moment I am writing we have some 150$. In this,
Gaby left 30$ and Pacho 20$.The other is the balance after seminar operations
since these years. I refused to touch it because they would talk about
embezzlement. And because it is the bank minimum . During all this time, when I
organise a meeting, Pacho and I only attend, except if I put the "beer time "in
the invitation .At this moment, our newspaper has a big office room so we don't
have to pay for the meeting at the end of the week. But I think I have to do a
lot to charm people.
What is true is that for one hand, many young people in Cameroon need to become
cartoonists. From the other hand, the existing cartoonists are leaving the job
for another sectors financially more attractive.
You don't have to send money Bro, because it will bring the opportunist spirit
at home. Maybe it's time to begin working with young and volonteer people?
I think (if you sent any money) it will be (for) the items that I need for these
meetings and I would like to count on you.
Right, I will find all the informations you need about embassies. Our contact in
US Embassy has been dismissed a long time ago. But for the next week I will get
in touch with the new comer.
I can also lend small money to Coup'crayon to publish cartoons book to improve
his financial situation. What don't you think?
