ERuDeF’s Public Relations and Communication Program now has a new member. Margaret Eyong, 23, holds a B.Sc in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of Buea. Confident, highly driven with practical hands-on client service experience, Ms Eyong comes in as Public Relations/Corporate Partnership Development Assistant and will be charged with mobilizing support for different programs at ERuDeF by seeking funding from corporations in Cameroon and beyond through corporate social responsibility.

Reacting to her new responsibility, the Manyu born said she was very thrilled when she got her letter of engagement at ERuDeF. ‘I have always loved to work for an organization so diverse in its approach of biodiversity conservation. It was therefore exciting when I was given the opportunity to join ERuDeF which today is one of the leading NGOs in Cameroon”

She says her multi-culture background permits her to adapt to her new responsibility with ease.

She brings with her previous experience in public relations working with the leading agro-industrial company, the Cameroon Development Corporation (CDC) Catholic Communication Service and First Technologies.

She is passionate about conservation and the environment and reveals that her experience with CDC led her to visit the suburbs which strengthened her love for nature.

Her communication skills, simple and friendly nature are assets she would bring to her work, she says. With strong organizational and administrative skills and the ability to work independently, Ms. Eyong believes she will be an asset to ERuDeF and will help create a strong relationship between ERuDeF and the corporate world with the overall vision of facilitating biodiversity conservation.
