I have worked with Draufsicht for about four years now. I must say as a Development Communicator and Journalist, my skills have been upgraded with new dynamics like peace journalism, mental well-being in conflict zones, etc thanks to Draufsicht. This has helped me stay relevant within a very volatile context and helped me stay neutral within the conflict context. I have also expanded my networking skills since working with Draufsicht. I have had the opportunity to meet and share working experiences with colleagues on a wide range of themes. Draufsicht has helped me, especially in the aspect of ethics and deontology of the journalism practice through its many trainings accorded us. The refresher training has continuously honed my skills as a Journalist. I pray sincerely that Draufsicht continues its great work of continuous training especially now as the Anglophone conflict is still- ongoing even as Cameroon is expecting multiple elections next year 2025.

The time I have spent with Draufsicht has been wonderful. If I'm a better community journalist today, it's thanks to Draufsicht. My reporting style has also evolved - I now focus more on telling the stories of our communities, which was not something I did as much before joining Draufsicht. In one of our meetings, I learned how to stay safe in a crisis zone while continuing my work as a community reporter. I also try to avoid using hurtful language, which is another skill I gained from my time at Draufsicht. The benefits I've received are numerous. However, one thing I was not able to gain was the ability to effectively use videos to tell stories. Nonetheless, I have no regrets about my time with Draufsicht.
