Forget about any other problem that we have in our community, country and families. mindless of these differences, let's put our hands together as one Community and fight this common enemy called Corona virus, and then we come back to examine ourselves on the way forward. As we  leave from here, let's take and make a commitment to prevent this pandemic from touching one of us, and the only way to do this will be to observe the hygiene and sanitation measures put in place by the world health organization and Cameroon government to fight against the spread of Covid-19.
