Village
There is an earth-road link from Bisoro Balue to the town of Kumba, the main economic town of the region. With aid from the German Government, organized by the Partnership between the Church districts Schopfheim, Lörrach and Dikome-Balue Presbytery (PCC), the village has a 172.000 DM (52.000.000 CFA) 15000 l pipe-borne water system, a primary school that was created in 1958, a health centre created in 1982 and a secondary school created in September 2007 (Minesec, June, 2007).
The recent population and housing census of 2005 estimates that Bisoro Balue has a population of about 5000 people (Bucrep, 2006). The Government Secondary School (GSS) Bisoro Balue takes part in the scholarship fund of the Schopfheim-Lörrach-Dikome partnership.

Famous quotes containing the word village:
“Where village statesmen talked with looks profound,
And news much older than their ale went round.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)
“Ezra Pound still lives in a village and his world is a kind of village and people keep explaining things when they live in a village.... I have come not to mind if certain people live in villages and some of my friends still appear to live in villages and a village can be cozy as well as intuitive but must one really keep perpetually explaining and elucidating?”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Every day or two I strolled to the village to hear some of the gossip which is incessantly going on there, circulating either from mouth to mouth, or from newspaper to newspaper, and which, taken in homoeopathic doses, was really as refreshing in its way as the rustle of leaves and the peeping of frogs.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
