Massa Tangeh AKA Bali Minds Real Estate
If my recollections are not betraying me (as it often does these days), you are the one who brought confusion to this whole brouhaha. When people started asking legitimate questions as to how a Catholic "Reverend Sister" could be abandoned by the very RICH Catholic church...YOU completely disappeared only to resurface now after reading Lambert Mbom's well crafted mail. Lambert earns a living through WRITING. Lambert is a good friend of mine and a very good Journalist but he is very wrong in his support for what the Catholics have shamelessly and disgracefully done on one of theirs. His timid and controversial explanation of the various "congregations" existing in that Religion simply goes to confirm the high-handedness that exist within the hierarchy of that church (unfortunately, that is another story for another day). If we simply go by the Catholic analogy he tried to confuse us with, we should not contribute even one dollar; but we are better than that. We take care of our brothers and sisters no matter what. We might fight and cush all day long but when a mammie is very sick as is the case here, we come together and take care of our own.
I am therefore appealing to us all to generously put in our widow's mite to help alleviate our sister's pain and suffering...BECAUSE she is a Cameroonian and the Catholic church (her Employers) has abdicated its responsibilities. A good Lawyer should advice if we should not sue the Vatican for gross neglect and dereliction of responsibilities. (Me Jude Ambe, Me Jude Anoma, Me Peter Ndikum, Me Mbinkar, Me Bokwe, Me Tatung Celestin, Me Jackie Ngole...YES; all these HOT HOT Maitres are my friends and they will all DEFEND me if any man try any nonsense on me) I am asking all of you: Do I, Mishe Fon have a case against Ndah-Nwui Cathoro?
Honestly, if anything (God forbid bad-ting) happens to mammie Sister Kah Futut Elizabeth, the Catholic Church will see pepper. Why are the Catholics so STINGY?

Subject: [camnetwork] SOS: Donate and Save Sr Kah's Life
Dear friends,
The African philosopher Mbiti says the African defines man in terms of the "we". I am because we are and since we are therefore I am. If there is any one time, we are called to live this reality it is at this crucial moment when the life of one of our own is failing. Rev Sr Kah Mufut.
Sr Kah Mufut is the 3rd child in a family of 9. Originally from Bali Nyongha, she was born in Mankon, Bamenda but raised in Kumba. She attended St. Anthony's Catholic Primary School, Kumba. She then proceeded to Government Technical High school Kumba.
Upon completion of high school, Sr. Kah Mufut freely opted to join the religious congregation of the sisters of St Therese of the Child Jesus in 1987. Ten years later, she became a final professed sister with the same order.
I first met Sr Kah in September 1999 when I became a teacher at Christ the King College, Tiko. She was then bursar of this school. She was later on transferred to Kumbo where she worked with the diocesan youth team. It is from here that Sr. Kah traveled to the US in 2006 for further studies. She gained admission and an accompanying scholarship into the prestigious Catholic Theological Union, Chicago where she bagged a master's degree in pastoral theology.
What started off as a simple pain in the arm morphed into cancer of the lungs diagnosed at an advanced stage after many hospital visitations, which only yielded huge doses of painkillers. Acupuncture didn't help just as chiropractice didn't. Then she was referred to an oncologist who did an MRI and diagnosed the cancerous lungs. It has affected her brain and her spine among others. She has had radiation and then decided to pursue alternative therapy.
Her first session in Reno Nevada was made possible through the largesse of a benefactor who took care of three quarters of the bill until a misfortune befell her too. Sr. Kah finished this first session and has an outstanding bill of $8,585.84. She returned to Chicago and has been unable to return to Reno to continue treatment because she has this outstanding balance and also needs money to pursue the second phase of the treatment.
Sr. Kah is a religious nun with the order of the sisters of St Therese of the child Jesus whose motherhouse is in Kumba town. This is a local religious order of the diocese of Buea. The sisters of this congregation are principally teachers,, nurses and pastoral agents. They teach in primary and secondary schools and work and run hospitals. This congregation is this year celebrating its golden jubilee. It is relatively a young congregation. By virtue of their consecrated life, they profess and live the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. They live in communities and do not own personal property.
Unlike Franciscan Sisters in Shisong who have international affiliations just as do the Holy Rosary Sisters, the Sisters of St Therese are only in Cameroon. You would agree with me then that only at the risk of running this congregation bankrupt will we expect that they be able to rise to the financial challenge treatment for Sr. Kah entails. In fact every year, one of the sisters of this congregation comes to the US to make appeals to enable them run some of their projects. No diocese and no religious order in the US is financially responsible for Sr. Kah. It is a very complicated process sorting through all that. Even for such basic needs as food and shelter, Sr. Kah has depended on her community and friends.
Yes there are many of our close relatives and friends suffering from a similar predicament like Sr. Kah. Why should we be making a collection for Sr. Kah? Unlike many, Sr. Kah does not have a salary. She in fact gave up her life to pray for us and serve us. She has labored in the Lord's vineyard for the last 26 years. She has served the Lord selflessly without any demand for any salary. Now that this tragedy has befallen her, it behooves us as a community, as her brothers and sisters to come to her aid.
Help because you are from Bali Nyongha; help because you are from Kumba, help because you are a Cameroonian; help because you are an African; help because you are a Catholic, help because you are a Christian; help because you know the pain and scourge of cancer; help because cancer brought devastation and despair to you and your family and don't want some other to walk that same path; help because you are a human being. Help, help, help...
I recommend that you meditate on the lyrics of the Servant Song by Richard Gillard especially the second stanza, which reads:
We are pilgrims on a journey
We are travelers on the road
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the Load.
Let us stand up as a community and help Sr. Kah "walk the mile and bear this load."
To paraphrase the words of a popular Catholic hymn:
Let none hear you idly saying,
There is nothing I can do
While Sr Kah is dying
Take the task He gives you gladly…
If you cannot give your thousands
You can give the widow's mite
And the least you do for Jesus
Will be precious in His sight.
Let us collectively show the sterling stuff of which we are made. Please kindly donate. ALL donations will be acknowledged.
Sr. Kah's personal account is:

Once again thank you; Remember whatsoever you do to Sr. Kah you do unto Jesus and will be replenished a hundredfold.
Yours truly,
Lambert Mbom.
