I worked in 1970 till 1973 in Banso as a Dutch volunteer in the Credit Unions. It was the most beautifull time/period in my whole life. These pictures give me a lot of good memories. I thank the Cameroonians for the life they give me. Till now ( I am already 66 years old) I daily think about my second homeland Cameroon.
For 2014 I wish all your people all the best, peace and prosperity.
Thanks!

Chem 23-Jun-2012 08:25
Guys, i think its time for us to applaud the efforts of our mayor (Njong D). if other kumbonites could be like him, Kumbo would have far gone beyond the level of 'a place to be".

Lived there in 2001 (after serving in Peace Corps). As beautiful as I remembered. Need info.: Names of days of the traditional week and what do they mean?
Any other traditional 8-day week in Cameroon (MBU - Baforchu) for example?
How is this reconcile to the lunar month and/or the Julien calendar? etc. etc.

Guest 10-Apr-2010 03:28
Doug,
You may remember I posted here 8 or 10 months ago asking about groundnuts in Kumbo... well, I managed to get there, and I'm just back now. I spent about 6 months there, and, as everyone else, fell in love with the place. Seeing your pictures, months before I decided to go, were the first spark! Thanks so much.
Cheers,
Jason

A.D. Selamo 24-Jan-2010 02:12
KUMBO

Is and will always remain
MY FIRST LOVE, the blessed santuary
every soil particle, every fruit, every grain
of my humble beginnings, my infancy
that which calmed my fears and healed many a pain
And gave me hope as I meander through uncertainty!

NSO
A place I'll always call HOME...
A place never short of things to marvel
Source of my spiritual strength and every cultural bone,
Grew my next meal on clay and gravel,
Yet raised me to love and give love without a single sad tone
Kumbo! I'll ALWAYS love you no matter how far and wide my glorious travels!

A.D Selamo - USA Jan. 2010
TATA BOLIVIAN 26-Dec-2009 11:08
the images are incredible and every Nso man looooking at them should feel proud of the fact that their place is being broadcasted on a global view like this/ long live Kumbo

These wonderful pix brought the memories of my Peace Corps service 1965-1965 in Kumbo at St.Augustine's COllege flooding back. I especially wonder what happened to my students and also my good friend Emmanuel Ngong. Thanks Doug, for sharing these photos of the most wonderful people in the world.
Mbiydzenyuy Ferdinant Sonyuy 02-Sep-2009 14:23
Kumbo is the most beautiful place in Cameroon.Found in the Most responsible tribe of Nso,Where the most intelligent Cameroonians can be found.More greese to anyone who has been patriotic enough to search right up to this level.We will walk tall with our Noses lifted up high when we Finaly build the and explode in Beuty.More Greece and honesty to all Kumboans, Nso people, and to Self reliance Promoters Training center.More is on the way.

WOOOOOOOOW..How much I miss this place. I' m working on my documentary.I' ve been in Shisong for tree weeks taping every body, at the beginning just in the cardiac centre , then every where. I' ve met so many special people. They' ve let me saw a different mode, a different style of life, differents values, different happyness and many other things that made me grow a lot. After that travel I feel much more sure about what to do in my life. Thanks to all this different people that live a different life from the european. Keep strong. The question that I wanth to explain in my video is: what is the better way of live the life ? Money, confort, a lot of work, individual life or community life, tradition, not so much work, money and confort?I really don' t know..Anyway I'll come back for sure..Hope that my documentary will be use in a usefull way

Great pictures! I'm a Canadian kid thinking about going to Kumbo to volunteer for 6 months or so. One potential problem - serious allergy to peanuts/groundnuts. How much did you come across them in local cuisine, or groundnut oil?? Help from anyone who knows Kumbo would be much appreciated.
Peter 25-Apr-2009 13:23
These photos are really natural and present the realities of our people. But for how long shall we be contented with this situation? For long shall things continue to be like this? When shall things change? ???????????

It is shocking to see the degree of poverty in my beloved home town Kumbo. I left Kumbo 7yrs ago. I just really feel like crying but when I see the smiles of my fellow brothers and sisters in the pictures I know that there still is hope. Yes, indeed there is hope.

Thanks, Ian. If the rest of you haven't looked at Ian's stuff, you owe it to yourselves to look especially at his Oregon Coast and Southwest Utah Arches (under Landscape) galleries. Ian, by the way, is the one who introduced me to PBase!

Doug,
I hadn't commented formally on these galleries, but consider this a formal WOW. These are not just great photographs, but great as journalism!
