I had many obstacles when I did volunteering because people didn’t value volunteer work.
In Cameroon and especially in my community, people consider volunteering as a waste of time and resources. They cannot conceive the fact that someone can work without remuneration or a salary.
My friends and family advised me on several occasions to stop volunteering. I felt very discouraged at some point, but I could not stop because I loved doing it. Volunteering was the top priority in my life. I decided not to pay attention to their advice, but I started to concentrate on my work.
