Making great strides in Boyo Division
By Mbeng Simon Nsah | The Director BFF
Boyo Community Radio is growing rapidly these days! With each passing day it is becoming more and more common to hear it being broadcasted in local and English languages. It's becoming a truly popular source of information regarding politics, cultural events, Public health sensitization issues, announcements, news and entertainment. Recently the radio had attended the Handing Over Ceremony of the Ameng Village water project. It was very exciting to hear the address of the Director of Better Family Foundation, the Mayor for Fundong council and Divisional Officer being broadcasted live over the airwaves. This made people all over Boyo to feel being part of the ceremony. Along side of this progress are certainly a fair share of challenges. Every day at the radio station is a capacity building exercise of sorts for it's volunteer staff members. Many of the times there are complains of lack of many equipments to make the radio function properly. Presently there is campaign going on for local population to raise funds towards the proper functioning of the radio.

Difficult Times in Fundong and Some Excitement
By Stephen Cormier | Volunteer
Greetings from Fundong !
Boyo Community Radio (BCR) has been enduring plenty of hardship here in Fundong for the past several months. Particularly, the electricity has been incredibly reluctant to stay on continuously over the past month. This has made our broadcasting not steady which has been a huge frustration to us because we cannot air much of our wonderful programming. C'EST LE CAMEROUN !
In exciting news, Mr. Ndang Denis Awoah-- the gentleman who help founded BCR-- has become Fundong's Municipal Mayor! This may mean great things for the radio. We look forward to engaging in some valuable partnerships with the local government body so that together we improve Fundong.
Though these past few months have been a ‘see-saw’ of sorts we remain enthusiastic about our radio station as a tool to empower and change our community. We will persevere through the difficulties ! We thank you all for your contributions to our BCR community and hope you can share this opportunity to support us to your friends and family.
