FOC provides funding for a variety of small, grass-roots projects in Cameroon, allowing members to continue to make a positive contribution to Cameroonian development.

Since 1972 Betty LaDuke, a Professor of Art at Southern Oregon State College, has traveled the world in search of inspiration. During the years 1985-92 Ms. LaDuke traveled in Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Ghana, Senegal, Mali, Egypt, Morocco, Togo and Benin. These travels, and most importantly, the lives of the women she encountered, inspired the works pictured here.
