Par la suite, le 4 ao\u00fbt 1988, l\u2019organisation change de nom et devient officiellement le CJARC (Club des Jeunes Aveugles R\u00e9habilit\u00e9s du Cameroun). En 1986, le CJARC d\u00e9bute ses activit\u00e9s dans la chambre de Coco Bertin, au domicile de ses parents. Il se lance dans le tissage de chaises. Plus tard, \u00e0 la suite d\u2019une sollicitation, les activit\u00e9s se poursuivent sur la v\u00e9randa de la D\u00e9l\u00e9gation D\u00e9partementale des Affaires Sociales au quartier Essos. L\u2019ann\u00e9e 1990 marque un tournant : le CJARC est officiellement reconnu par le Minist\u00e8re de l\u2019Administration. D\u00e8s 1991, de nombreux non-voyants fr\u00e9quentent l\u2019association. Cela devient possible gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une \u00ab op\u00e9ration r\u00e9cup\u00e9ration \u00bb men\u00e9e dans plusieurs quartiers pour identifier les personnes isol\u00e9es. En parall\u00e8le, le CJARC acquiert un terrain. Entre 1989 et 1991, une ferme avicole y est construite avec le soutien financier de la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Suisse des Aveugles. En 1992, l\u2019\u00e9levage de poulets de chair y commence. Martin Luther s\u2019installe avec sa famille \u00e0 la ferme d\u2019Ahala. Dans ce cadre, le CJARC organise le \u00ab Sp\u00e9cial No\u00ebl des Aveugles \u00bb, un repas festif r\u00e9unissant une trentaine de non-voyants. M. Coco Bertin, Directeur G\u00e9n\u00e9ral du CJARC, est invit\u00e9 au Nig\u00e9ria par l\u2019ONG Ashoka Innovators for the Public. Il est retenu comme premier Camerounais partenaire de l\u2019organisation, en reconnaissance de son engagement \u00e0 \u00e9tendre ses actions aux aveugles vivant dans les zones rurales. En 1994, le CJARC construit un si\u00e8ge provisoire dans l\u2019enceinte de la D\u00e9l\u00e9gation des Affaires Sociales, au quartier Essos. Cette m\u00eame ann\u00e9e, trois antennes voient le jour : \u00e0 Djomb\u00e9, \u00e0 Douala et \u00e0 Mbouda. Un partenariat d\u00e9bute avec la Croisade des Aveugles de France. Parall\u00e8lement, les membres du CJARC, avec d\u2019autres non-voyants, cr\u00e9ent l\u2019ASAMC (Association Sportive des Aveugles et Malvoyants du Cameroun). Martin Luther devient pr\u00e9sident et Coco Bertin occupe le poste de Secr\u00e9taire G\u00e9n\u00e9ral. L\u2019antenne de Douala obtient un local qui fait office de si\u00e8ge, \u00e0 titre provisoire. En 1998, deux \u00e9v\u00e9nements marquent la vie du CJARC.-D\u2019abord, Martin Luther et M. Ren\u00e9 Myn Kong participent en Espagne aux activit\u00e9s sportives organis\u00e9es par l\u2019International Blind Sport Association (IBSA).-Ensuite, deux b\u00e9n\u00e9voles fran\u00e7ais, Jacky Le Moing et Carole Decaudin, rejoignent l\u2019\u00e9quipe. Aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s du Suisse Robby B\u00e4r, membre du comit\u00e9 directeur, ils contribuent \u00e0 la conception du projet de construction du si\u00e8ge du CJARC. Entre 1999 et mars 2001, une antenne est cr\u00e9\u00e9e \u00e0 Ebang. En parall\u00e8le, le CJARC engage un partenariat avec la Fondation Fakkel 2000 bas\u00e9e en Hollande, anim\u00e9e par Ren\u00e9 Myn Kong et Mme Jonker. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ce partenariat, un s\u00e9minaire de formation des formateurs en signes math\u00e9matiques braille est organis\u00e9. Ce s\u00e9minaire est anim\u00e9 par Henri Magadur, dans le cadre de la collaboration avec la Croisade des Aveugles. \u00c0 l\u2019issue d\u2019une Assembl\u00e9e G\u00e9n\u00e9rale, l\u2019\u00e9quipe dirigeante du CJARC est r\u00e9organis\u00e9e. Martin Luther conserve son poste de Tr\u00e9sorier G\u00e9n\u00e9ral, tandis que M. Som Ligom Jean Pascal devient Secr\u00e9taire G\u00e9n\u00e9ral. Le s\u00e9jour du Directeur G\u00e9n\u00e9ral en Europe, accompagn\u00e9 de F\u00e9licit\u00e9 Nzoudja, apporte plusieurs b\u00e9n\u00e9fices. Il suit une formation en informatique, \u00e9tablit de nombreux contacts et recherche activement des financements pour la construction du si\u00e8ge du CJARC. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ces d\u00e9marches, plusieurs organisations s\u2019engagent concr\u00e8tement dans la r\u00e9alisation du projet. En juillet 2001, la construction du si\u00e8ge du CJARC d\u00e9bute. Du 10 au 21 octobre 2002, le CJARC organise un s\u00e9minaire sur l\u2019utilisation de la canne blanche et la formation en braille int\u00e9gral. \u00c0 cette occasion, le CJARC c\u00e9l\u00e8bre pour la premi\u00e8re fois la Journ\u00e9e Internationale de la Canne Blanche, qui se tient chaque 15 octobre. L\u2019ann\u00e9e 2003 est marquante pour le CJARC. Il re\u00e7oit le certificat de l\u2019Excellence \u00ab Prix du dynamisme \u00bb de la part de Good-Will, en reconnaissance de son exceptionnel dynamisme et de sa contribution \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9gration sociale des personnes handicap\u00e9es. La m\u00eame ann\u00e9e, en pr\u00e9sence des membres du Gouvernement et du corps diplomatique, la Premi\u00e8re Dame du Cameroun, Mme Chantal Biya, inaugure officiellement le si\u00e8ge du CJARC. Ce passage marque un tournant d\u00e9cisif pour les activit\u00e9s du CJARC. Les demandes d\u2019accompagnement, en provenance de Yaound\u00e9 et de l\u2019arri\u00e8re-pays, augmentent consid\u00e9rablement. Cette dynamique renforce l\u2019id\u00e9e de cr\u00e9er une \u00e9cole primaire int\u00e9gr\u00e9e, adapt\u00e9e aux besoins \u00e9ducatifs sp\u00e9cifiques des enfants aveugles. C\u2019est dans ce contexte que l\u2019\u00c9cole Primaire Int\u00e9gr\u00e9e Louis Braille (EPILB) voit le jour en 2004. Elle commence avec moins de cinquante \u00e9l\u00e8ves. Aujourd\u2019hui, elle accueille environ 150 enfants, qu\u2019ils soient voyants ou non voyants. Les deux premi\u00e8res promotions pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es au Certificat d\u2019\u00c9tudes Primaires (CEP) pour les ann\u00e9es scolaires 2006\/2007 et 2007\/2008 obtiennent un taux de r\u00e9ussite de 100 %. En 2005, le CJARC acquiert un terrain de 736 m\u00b2 \u00e0 Mbankolo. Ce site comprend deux b\u00e2timents d\u00e9di\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9levage de poulets de chair. La m\u00eame ann\u00e9e, une antenne est cr\u00e9\u00e9e \u00e0 Ebolowa. Le club signe \u00e9galement une convention de partenariat avec le Minist\u00e8re de la Jeunesse pour mettre en \u0153uvre le Projet d\u2019Alphab\u00e9tisation Fonctionnelle des Aveugles (PAFA). Lanc\u00e9 en 2005, le PAFA permet d\u2019alphab\u00e9tiser pr\u00e8s de 300 personnes aveugles jusqu\u2019en 2008. En janvier 2006, une restructuration fonctionnelle et organisationnelle est mise en place. Ce changement transforme la Direction G\u00e9n\u00e9rale en Coordination G\u00e9n\u00e9rale.
