Margaret Besong's dream
QIS as a center of excellence in Cameroon with a transformed team to give the students the necessary tools to succeed.
Success is measured by man's ability tend.
Cultivate and have dominion. Proper dominion comes from a right relationship with the one who has given you the power to dominate.
The vision to create QIS was born from my relationship with God.
God's road map for my life: both grandfathers servants of God in the Presbyterian church.
Father instilled the fear of God for his family.
Personally met Jesus in my Ecole Normal hostel after a bible study on where will you spend eternity.
I Confronted my sin repented and decided to live for the of God. Now I battle from the position of victory.
Jesus in me the Hope of Glory. Glory now and in Heaven with my Lord.
ENS 2nd cycle settled in my heart that God wanted me in Education.
