Year of opportunities
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I am doing a post graduate diploma course in applied oceanography. I have been working with the government of cameroon for the past 17 years in the ministry of livestock, fisheries and and animal industries. Resuming school after this long while was not easy to cope with but things have normalised now. I'm heading towards completion of the course.
