The Impeccable Holy Shrine.

Bewildering as it sounds, though called a shrine, there is not deity, ancestor, or daemon present here. This shrine is a temple of God and a milieu to be able to communicate personally and in quiet with the maker. The Holy shrine, fondly called the Our Lady of Grace shrine is located at the outskirts of Buea beside the St. Joseph’s College Sasse.

It has an amazing scenery as it is located where a strange water fall flows continuously and voluminously. It is located near a waterfall that the Sasse region’s longtime ruler voluntarily offered to the Catholic Church. Astonishingly, even locals and people who have lived in the arena for more than ten years are unaware of the origin of the waterfall.

The Sasse Shrine contains a chapel for devotions and prayers, a small auditorium that can accommodate approximately 100 people, and a store selling religious items like rosaries, Bibles, crosses and a host of church affiliated items. At the shrine, people host retreats, prayer cell and prayer group meetings, Bible studies and a good number of people carry water from the fall since it has been blessed and sanctified after it’s inauguration in September 2011 by an ordained Catholic Priest.

Though a Catholic shrine, the our Lady of Grace Shrine opens its arms to people from denominations as the common goal remains serving the author and finisher of our faith.

How to prepare for your study in France
  1. Take some language class

First of all, if you are already fluent in French, your bachelor’s life would be much easier, in terms of relationships, daily activities, and further administrative tasks. Technically, in order to attend a public university in France, you’re supposed to achieve a B2 level certificate in French, perhaps through the TCF or DELF testing system. However, many business schools and private universities offer courses and degrees in English to attract more international students, which means these students are required to speak French in class. Though there is so much more out there to explore, such as, having a part-time job in a french coffee shop, or hanging out with the french associations. That’s why learning at least the basics would be beneficial. And for your knowledge, the french, they do love their language, like a lot!

2. Make a list of what to bring

You’re moving to France, the kingdom of fashion, living the dream life of most people. Well, it’s not necessary to bring too many clothes. As a matter of fact, you will definitely buy new clothing items real soon, probably right after landing. Then, what you need to carefully look through is your important document. For example, if you want to apply for CAF, with the hope of receiving funds from the government, you will need to submit personal information on paper, which is kind of a challenge for newcomers. Printing here is weirdly expensive and hard to find. Print beforehand so that you can use it whenever you need to.

3. Social Life

Please, go find and join those groups on Facebook to reach out to people that live in the same city as you. You can’t imagine how helpful it could be. First, you get to know people even before you move there. As a result, you will have some new friends to hang out with right away. Second, most of your problems could be solved if you post your questions and explain the situation there. Seriously, people are trying to help you if they can. Perhaps after living there for a year, you could help others too. Third, you can seek opportunities, especially summer internships in the same city. Great choice cause you won’t have to move again and again.

Fascinating Reasons Why Buea Should Be Your Next Travel Destination.

Buea is a historic town that lies in the South West Région of Cameroon and the closest to the Eastern slopes of Mount Cameroon. This volanic mountain last erupted in 1999 and is well known for the annual mountain race and a suitable avenue for camping amidst being very cold. Buea is the capital of the South West Region of Cameroon. The town fondly called the town of legendary hospitality, is located in the Fako Division of Cameroon and inhabits about 350,000 people. It hosts students, youths, adults and aged people who come together for various reasons like education, leisure, shelter, and work purposes. One of the binding forces of these coalescent people is the language. The primary languages spoken are English, French, Pidgin and Mokpe specifically spoken by the indigenous Bakweri people who happen to be the chief custodians of the city.

The town is graced with beautiful restaurants, hotels, which act as pleasurable places for tourists. Buea has 2 alluring government hotels namely Parliamentarian Flat and Mountain hotel which have been beautifully architected. Other touristic arenas are; the Holy shrine, the reunification monument, the prime minister’s lodge, the grand stand and not forgetting the biggest and lone higher institution, University of Buea. This government higher institute opens its arms to over 250,000 students yearly from different regions of the country. The University of Buea employs over 50 fields of studies and has separate campuses for students in tech aswell as medical practitioners though still located in Buea. There are other private higher institutions found in this town which empower people intellectually. It is worth mentioning that there are a good number of primary, secondary and high schools which are both private and government owned.

The aforementioned beautiful sceneries will have no value if people from neighboring and distant towns don’t come for visits, tourism and pleasure. Given that the town is relatively small, traveling is easy and straight forward. At the gateways of Buea, is found the mile 17 motor park which is the final bus stop for everyone leaving Buea and coming to Buea. The park has a series of bus agencies where individuals pay bus tickets to a specific direction. We are made to understand that, some people may have pressing issues and reasons why traveling is important and cannot wait for these buses to get full before leaving so they have to resort to using clandestine drivers who are also located at the park but charge a little over the normal fare.

At the park, tickets are paid for both long distances of about 6-8 hours as well as very short distances to the nearest town of about 30 minutes. Once a bus ticket is paid, the individual goes into the vehicle to reserve a seat. Unlike the clandestine vehicles, individuals only pay their money to the driver upon arrival at the destination.

Sheda savage describes the traveling experience as one that expands the mind and fills the gap. Though plagued with the anglophone crisis, Buea is still able to give a mix of these feelings hence, travelling to Buea, the town of legendary hospitality gives a very therapeutic and rejuvenating experience.
