"HOME AWAY FROM HOME"

A WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF MACUDA-AMERICA

Fellow Mankonian, dear friend,

On behalf of the Mankon Cultural and Development Association in America (MACUDA-AMERICA), I heartily welcome you to this website. Your visit to this site is a clear manifestation of the interest that you have in identifying yourself with the positive, hospitable, progressive and culturally rich Mankon community in America.

The village of Mankon is located in the North Western part of Cameroon in Central Africa. It is host to one of the largest cities in Cameroon and Mankon people, individually and collectively, have been at the forefront of the development of their land and country. They are politically enlightened, commercially dynamic, socially friendly, educationally sound, economically self-reliant, and culturally proud and protective. In the spirit of self-reliance, MACUDA was created in order to rally all Mankon people, their friends and well-wishers together for the identification, preservation and promotion of the values that are dear to our society.

In the above light, and albeit being so far away from home, MACUDA-AMERICA has made this website available so that it can serve as the umbilical cord that continues to link us with our roots. On it, you will be treated to a variety of features including news and information about Mankon and MACUDA, MACUDA-AMERICA objectives and events, entertainment, a Mankon cultural repertoire, and an interactive page that will enable you to stay forever connected with other Mankon people and friends around the world.

It is my firm belief that by the end of your tour of this website, you will be convinced that you have a place within the MACUDA-AMERICA family.

Dear friend, fellow Mankonian,

We are happy and proud of your visit today. Now is the time for you to sit back, relax and enjoy your "Home Away From Home."

May the gods of Mankon and the Almighty bless us all.

Tangyie Elijah Che Munyong-Abieri
