September 2008 We have just released the first issue of our quarterly newsletter, Sa'ka. Please check it out here. Also, WEICAM has made the news thanks to our Civil Marriage Project. In July, 44 couples were married in Kumbo in a mass marriage ceremony in an attempt to empower women by making sure that they have the rights they are entitled to though marriage.
