The wife of the outgoing Russian Ambassador to Cameroon was honoured last Friday by the Circle of Friends of Cameroon (CERAC). In spite of the heavy rains last Friday 4 in Yaounde, the ceremony organised by the Circle of Friends of Cameroon, CERAC, to bid farewell to their member, wife of the outgoing Russian Ambassador to Cameroon, Nathalia Akhmedov, went ahead unhindered. With all smiles, members of CERAC happily and gratefully toasted on behalf of founding president, Mrs Chantal Biya for Nathalia Akhmedov and her contribution to the humanitarian gesture of the outfit towards the vulnerable in society.
The Vice President of CERAC, Marie Prudence Dipanda, speaking on behalf of the General Coordinator, Linda Yang, did not hide the gratitude of the organisation towards the outgoing CERAC member, Nathalia. She expressed satisfaction on her availability and constant support to the affected in society. Since her arrival in Cameroon on October 26, 2006, Nathalia Akhmedov has been active in various spheres. Her exhibition of art objects from her country last December on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the humanitarian body did not leave any visitor indifferent, she noted. Though she leaves Cameroon, Marie Prudence Dipanda said Nathalia remains a member of the body. The outgoing CERAC member was offered a gift from First Lady Chantal Biya as a symbol of their undying friendship.
The outgoing CERAC member, on her part, did not hide her regret leaving the country and a people she says are hospital. Nathalia Akhmedov noted with satisfaction her relationship with the body and lauded the First Lady for the initiative, wishing her and family the best they wish for themselves. The jovial and all-smiling Nathalia also had a surprise gift for members of CERAC; a folk song from her country, accompanied by a breath-taking performance. The party ended with the cutting of a goodbye cake in honour of Nathalia Akhmedov, song and dance and a group photo. The outgoing CERAC member was visibly happy by the time she left the premises of CERAC last Friday 4, 2011.
