Surviving the Anglophone crisis, discovering skills

The Anglophone crisis, characterized by frequent lockdowns, ghost towns and industrial strikes have compelled a secondary school student in Bamenda to discover her skills in cake making. Forced to stay at home due to the crisis and now Covid 19, she has been home for some time and has decided to make use of her time. This is the case with Fielefack Wilma, a 19-year-old pre- university student of Government Bilingual High School Down Town Bamenda.

In a bid to exploit her free time, Fielefack Wilma has created a small start-up business known as Fieles Touches and Packages. Fieles Touches and Packages produce all types of cakes and surprise baskets.

She hopes that by becoming an entrepreneur she will not be a continuous burden to her family.

She tells The Safeguard that her inspiration came after advice and encouragements given to her by people who needed cakes and others who appreciated the services she had offered to them.

"I discovered that many people liked to gift cakes and surprise baskets to their loved ones. It is with this discovery that i decided to add the surprise packages to Fieles touches", she added.

Fieles Touches and Packages engage in all kind of cakes for occasions like birthdays, graduation, and weddings. Her business start up is unique as every surprise party organized by her venture has come with a surprise. They also give counsel on what kind of cake to make, the design and its way of presentation, that is; the look of every cake must have a story that it represents.

Fieles Touches gives discounts and does delivery.
