Cameroon: One Tikar One People
Genealogical search and recovery missions are not for the faint of heart! Yes, it takes a lot of grit and determination to retrace the steps of one’s ancestral lineage. However, when done with the right people, intentions and within supportive environments, the journey can truly be rewarding! Prince Ambassador Delaure Delwanda, together with his wife Queen Mother Florence, has provided a beacon of hope for DNA-tested Cameroonian-descendants who share an interest in learning more about their Tikar-Bamileke ancestry. Dating back to their first trip excursion in 2015, this husband and wife team has worked tirelessly to cultivate and develop community initiatives on the Continent. Since that time, the Prince Ambassador has reconnected descendants of Tikar-Bamileke ancestry on several trips to Cameroon. Known as the Festival of the returned, they have not only supported these re-connections but facilitated cultural enrichment projects to keep returnees connected to the land, and their Tikar-Bamileke families through philanthropic projects.
