Daily Prayer
"Almighty God, daily you ask us if we truly love you and just like Peter, our response is: Yes God, you know we love you. In the silence of our hearts, we hear you instructing us at VoTech (S7) Academy: “Feed your lamb”; “Take care of your sheep”; “Feed your sheep”
We, therefore, invite you God Almighty, to journey with every member of VoTech (S7) Academy daily, because unless you build us, we labour in vain. Unless you watch over our institution, promoters, administrators and staff, they work in vain. Through the intercession of Pa Elias M. Nwana (1933-2021), Patron of VoTech (S7) Academy, we implore you, God, to dwell with us. Amen."
History

History
VoTech (S7) ACADEMY was conceived in August 2021 by the proprietor and some benevolent promoters of education as a project of SAMA CARE (a humanitarian social enterprise). The objective of this project is to empower disadvantaged persons like the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) within the community with skills and knowledge in the spirit of the proprietor’s late uncle, Dr Elias M. Nwana’s pursuit to educate all. About him, I write:
“Poverty, lack of support and little or no career guidance almost prevented my father from becoming the Ace professional in his career as a teacher, if not for the timely benevolent intervention of his benefactor and mentor, his elder brother, my uncle.”
Just like his father, thousands of talented children in disadvantaged communities are scouting for opportunities for empowerment to become productive and self-actualised. Recently, this challenge has been heightened by the escalating sociopolitical crisis in the NW and SW Regions of Cameroon, which has deprived thousands of families of their livelihood as well as shut down hundreds of educational facilities. This is backed by UNICEF’s report of January 2020, which indicates that nearly 900.000 children in the NW and SW Regions of Cameroon have been deprived of education as a result of the crisis.
It is therefore on this mandate of identifying, activating and bringing to bear the rejected and dormant talents of human resources from disadvantaged communities that VoTech (S7) ACADEMY opened her doors to her pioneer students on Tuesday 7th September 2021 as a Technical, Industrial & Commercial Secondary and High School, using a vocational pedagogic approach to empower her human resources.
Our core values
The core values of VoTech (S7) Academy are inscribed in the Logo and the Motto of this institution which are: Holistic Education, Integrity, Holiness, Team Work, Diversity, Service, Love, Welfare, Productivity and Self-actualisation.
