CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE TO MRS. DENISE NGOKO, OUR ESTEEMED PRESIDENT!

As a former President of Peuh Munka Ntom America and current Member of the Board of Elders, I would like, at the conclusion of this 8th Peuh Munka Ntom America Convention coupled with our very first Gala Night, to extend my most sincere and warmest congratulations to you, dear President Denise Ngoko, for your leadership, commitment, and the outstanding success of this historic event.

Through this convention, you have once again demonstrated your vision, determination, and ability to mobilize community energy around a shared cause. Thanks to your organizational skills, dedication, and unifying spirit, this gathering was a true moment of brotherhood, sharing, and celebration of our Bameka cultural heritage.

This inaugural Gala Night will remain engraved in the history of our association as a major milestone. It bears witness to your capacity to carry an ambitious vision and turn it into a reality that honors our community and heritage.

I was deeply amazed by your power to bring people together, uniting so many associations, dignitaries, guests, and partners within the DMV area around Peuh Munka Ntom America. The numerous positive testimonials I heard about you during this Fundraising Gala reflect the esteem, respect, and trust you inspire among those who interact and work with you.

I would also like to extend my congratulations to Mr. Donald MBA, Chairman of the Organizing Committee, as well as his entire team, for the remarkable work accomplished. Their dedication, availability, and professionalism contributed greatly to the success of this major event—work that was deeply appreciated by you, Madam President, as well as by all the participants.

My congratulations also go to Maman Anna Tabi, Cultural Attaché for the 2026 Edition of Peuh Munka Ntom America, for the excellent organization of the Cultural Night. The magnificent presentation of the Kouakoua dance, along with the high-quality discussions surrounding the topics addressed—twins in Bameka tradition, the Maamboô, and spouse selection for young Bameka in the diaspora—highlighted the richness of our culture and strengthened the bond between generations.

I also applaud the remarkable work of the moderators, panelists, speakers, committee members, and everyone who contributed, near or far, to this beautiful success.

Dear President Denise, I finally want to congratulate you on the Certificate of Recognition received from the United States Congress. This honor is a wonderful acknowledgment of your commitment, leadership, and ongoing efforts to promote Peuh Munka Ntom America, our Bameka culture, and our values within American society.

May God continue to guide you, strengthen you, and bless your leadership. May He bless Peuh Munka Ntom America and each of its members, and grant us the wisdom and unity necessary to continue preserving, promoting, and passing on our precious cultural heritage together.

Long live Peuh Munka Ntom America!

Long live the Bameka culture!

Together, let us continue building our Association!

See you at the next convention!
