Our organization's President is currently visit Cameroon and blogging about it. This teaser from his most recent post:
Our team visited three translation projects in two days: Nugunu, Yambetta and Tunen. All represent in one way or another one of the main reasons Bible translation is accelerating: strategies involving Cameroonians more deeply in the translation process, and the use of new technologies.
We started out in the town of Ombessa just north of the capital, Yaoundé, where we visited with the Nugunu translation team. This project supported by SIL Cameroon is nearing completion. Taking advantage of satellite technology installed by Wycliffe Associates USA, they are able (as are the next two projects) to transfer data that includes translated Scriptures that are checked remotely for accuracy and returned to them for updating on their computers.
Our next stop, Yambetta, has personal meaning for Dallas and me. Léonard and Marie Bolioki have been working on this project for many years, and we have loved and supported them as much as we could since we first arrived in Cameroon in 1987. They lost their ten-year-old son, Tonton, during our first year here. A very sad event that bonded us together for life.
Also CBN is reporting on their visit to Cameroon:
