Speaking on the initiative, CAMASEJ National President Viban Jude emphasised on the need for professional solidarity and commitment of the association to encourage back to school especially in the crisis hit Anglophone regions of Northwest and Southwest.

CAMASEJ counts on the benevolence of partners and members of goodwill in sustaining this initiative, which provides dignity and hope to children of colleagues who dedicated their lives to the profession.
