Linus, who is studying at one of the Cameroon seminaries, explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOne of the key problems the Church in Cameroon is facing, as in many parts of Africa, is that Christians do not read. And if they do, it\u2019s very thin. Most know very little about the Catholic faith and the situation is worst among the young people.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But what if we could change that, patricularly in the seminaries? What if we could provide good Catholic books to every future-priest in the country? Working with the seminarians themselves, we\u2019ve decided the best solution is to go digital. So we\u2019re providing one CD for each seminarian in Cameroon, loaded with Catholic content that is accessible wherever he goes, regardless of the computer he\u2019s using or whether it has Internet. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/project\/101472\/widget\/198092\" width=\"224px\" height=\"429px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For as little as $2 a CD you can help a seminarian in his Catholic education.
