STESA-Germany eV. (Starlight Ex-Students Association Germany) has the reputation of organising one of the best annual benevolent galas within the African Community in NRW-Germany. “Our annual gala is not all about drinking and dancing. We invite people to come and have fun for a good cause”, said the president of the association Mr. Dobgima Elvis Fohtung. Our association was founded in the year 2010. Back then we had only about 5 registered members, no one knew who we were and what we do. Today  we count about 30 registered members from Germany, France,  Belgium and the UK.

What people do not know about our Alma mater is that, it is a private boarding school located in Nkwen-Bamenda Cameroon. A joint venture of many shareholders whereby most are  unfortunately of late says Antonia Mundi of Maischna Magazine (one of the founding members of STESA GERMANY). We do not have the advantage most mission schools in Cameroon have. We as Ex-Students have a major role to play in order to keep the educational standard and  environment we grew up with in the early 90’s.  The greater part of the revenue from the galas flow in to our school projects. We are actually modernising the school laboratory, we are doing our best to provide reference books for the examinations classes, we offer scholarships to students with extra ordinary performances and what we have as vision for the year 2016 is to provide capacity building trainings for the school staff. There is still so much to do with the little we have. We are so grateful to be able to  give back to our alma mater.

The Gala was a great success and another fun filled one. Let the pictures speak for themselves.
