Courses/Faculty

Our Academy Campus has many opportunities to study, heal, play and meditate or pray. There will be no sermons but a place for our community to come together and meditate. Often life is a challenge filled with tests and prayers are your only protection. We are happy to offer such a place of solace and comfort.

Storehouse

It will take a while upon completion of clearing our new farming vegetable garden. Adjacent we have built and are ready to open soon our general storehouse. We will soon offer for sale our vegetables, fish, chicken, and items produced in this new enterprise. All products sold will be in exchange for a bartering system. All items are free if you are too young, too old, or too sick. The rest will be in exchange for volunteer hours. We also offer on our adjacent property a 50 acre wheat farm which will be an opportunity for our students to assist with our harvesting, and learn planting.

A Large Community Garden

We are excited to watch soon everybody coming over to plant some much needed fresh vegetables. Note we even purchased some fruit trees for all to enjoy.
Comes harvest time we all help to bring them to our general store.
As we are operating on a bartering system you may feel free to come and help your family. Those who are too young, too old or to sick are exempt from service exchange.
We may even have some fish or chicken and eggs?
It is up to our community to make it happen and reap the benefits.

Clinic/Hospital

It has taken a long time and sacrifices to launch our Uniting Hearts Clinic on our Campus.

This now includes a Birthing Station, examination room, intake and follow up spaces, an emergency pharmacy, hospital beds, a blood bank, a CatScan, XRay Machine, Sonogram, Blood Testing equipment and storage, Oxygen options and an ambulance. We look forward to install our dental office shortly too. Note our many blood donors recently! We are most grateful!

We are excited to welcome Dr. Moussa Pascal and his assistants Marceline and Mathieu

Recreation

A time to Play

The best way to build community is in building teams through recreation. As you can see we are still clearing the land to establish the various spaces and spaces. And yes, several of them will have a picnic table to rest, snack and converse!

Soccer Field
Regardless of age or gender, soccer is a favorite around the world! We are excited to establish our own field and equipment so the fun can begin!
Who knows, maybe one day a future star soccer player will have his/her beginning right here!

A Track around the soccer field
Keeping fit is very important. And there is nothing better than running. So let us all enjoy working out individually or competition as a team.

Basketball Field
There is nothing more fun than playing basketball. It took us a while to make it happen, but let's get together and shoot some balls!

A Skateboard Wave will soon be open
Hi skateboarders... I know you might have watched the Olympic competition skateboarding and were hoping you too could skate like that! Well, soon you can!

A modest Rock Climbing Wall
Wow, that sounds exciting and challenging. We will start small so we all can learn to become skillful rock climbers. Help us put this exciting exhibit together!

And yes, even...
A swimming pool to cool off and relax
It has taken a lot of effort, skill, engineering and labor to make this dream come true! Relax after a hard day at work or after exercising. Bring the family. We will have a picnic table to sit and chat.

Golf Course

We have begun grading, clearing the land, building a wall to protect from lake/river overflow. We were able to purchase 2 six seater golf carts in order to explore our course. Invite your business partners, visitors or just have family fun and challenges.
Yes, we even have a passenger bus to pick up our visitors from the train or plane.
No clubhouse, but our cafeteria is open for you to even cater a luncheon!

Our Meditation and House of Devotions

A place for people of every faith to pray together

There is nothing more relaxing than coming together regardless of personal Faith to meditate together. Everybody is welcome as we will not have sermons or preaching, but just come together as a community that wants the best for all and each of us.

Museum

Unity Museum of Ngaoundal is a place to celebrate local history, humanity, justice, and global history

We are excited to introduce our Executive Director and Curator Andre Ngozo. He has taken on the challenge to refurbish and design our newly inherited Unity Museum in the village of Ngaoundal. It is a small village of 40,000 residents.

We are excited to welcome ongoing tours from surrounding elementary, middle, and high schools at our museum. It is important for our youth to learn their history and culture.
See our exhibits on objects and posters depicting traditions and community life.
Once in a while we hope our Chiefs and Elders can give talks on bygone traditions or visions for the future. We are all family here and learn from one another.
Our courtyard will have some swings for the children and a small merry-go-round presently being build.
And a picnic table, some fruit tress, and a gazebo for sun protection. Maybe some music on occasions?
Come and build our "gathering place" into a community place.
