Ashley and I made this video to show how Cameroonians celebrate International Women’s Day, which is March 9th. Despite the hot sun, we had a great time dressing up in traditional Cameroonian clothes, known as kabas, and marching in the parade with GHAPE borrowers. I think we also had a little too much fun making this video…
I must say that Women’s Day was one of my favorite memories of Cameroon. It was great to see women out enjoying themselves by celebrating with fellow women. It was a nice change from the daily scene. During this special day, if I got hollered at, it wasn’t a marriage proposal, it was simple a “HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY!” shout out. I wish everyday was Women’s Day!
