The Member of Parliament for the Santa Special Constituency, Hon. Dr. Kumase Simon Powoh, once again demonstrated his unwavering commitment to grassroots development and community empowerment over the weekend as he participated in a major fundraising initiative organized by the Ndong Awing Cultural and Development Association (NACDA)in Bamenda.

The event, which brought together sons and daughters of Awing from various walks of life, traditional authorities, development stakeholders, community leaders, and well-wishers, served as a platform to mobilize resources for key development projects aimed at improving the socio-economic well-being of the people of Awing Village and the wider Santa Subdivision.

As one of the principal launchers of the fundraising drive, Hon. Dr. Kumase Simon Powoh made a significant financial contribution toward the realization of the community's development objectives. His generous support was widely applauded by attendees, who described it as a clear reflection of his dedication to advancing sustainable development and improving living conditions for his constituents.

Speaking during the occasion, the parliamentarian emphasized the critical role that collective action, community solidarity, and responsible leadership play in driving meaningful development. He noted that development can only flourish when communities unite around a common vision and work together toward shared goals.

According to Hon. Dr. Powoh, the progress of Awing Village remains an important priority, not only for its residents but also for the overall growth and transformation of Santa Subdivision. He reiterated his commitment to supporting initiatives that create opportunities for economic growth, infrastructure improvement, youth empowerment, education, and social welfare.

The fundraising event is expected to contribute significantly to projects designed to boost local development and strengthen the economic foundation of the community. Stakeholders expressed optimism that the resources mobilized would accelerate the implementation of priority projects capable of generating long-term benefits for residents and enhancing the attractiveness of Awing as a thriving rural community.

Beyond his financial contribution, Hon. Dr. Kumase Simon Powoh used the occasion to engage directly with members of the Awing community in a spirit of fellowship and unity. Interacting with elders, youths, women, and development actors, he encouraged greater collaboration among community members and urged them to remain committed to the ideals of peace, harmony, and mutual respect.

In a message that resonated strongly with participants, the legislator stressed that sustainable development cannot be achieved in an environment characterized by division and instability. He underscored the importance of preserving peace and social cohesion, describing them as essential pillars for economic progress and community transformation.

With Cameroon gradually approaching another electoral cycle, Hon. Dr. Powoh called on citizens to remain law-abiding and to conduct themselves responsibly before, during, and after the elections. He encouraged the population to reject violence, embrace dialogue, and contribute positively to maintaining a peaceful atmosphere that would enable development efforts to continue unhindered.

"The future of our communities depends on our ability to remain united and peaceful while working together for the common good," he told participants. "Development thrives where peace prevails, and it is our collective responsibility to preserve that peace for future generations."

Observers at the event noted that Hon. Dr. Kumase Simon Powoh's participation reflects his broader vision of people-centered leadership, characterized by accessibility, community engagement, and active support for local development initiatives. Many participants praised his consistent involvement in projects aimed at uplifting communities across Santa Subdivision and promoting socio-economic advancement.

The fundraising ceremony concluded on a positive note, with renewed commitments from stakeholders to continue supporting development efforts in Awing. Community leaders expressed gratitude to Hon. Dr. Powoh and other contributors for their generosity and dedication to the village's growth and transformation.
