I got my Masters degree in Literature and have joined the National Meteorological Agency as International and Public Relations Department. One of the duies were publishing a billingual magazine. While I work and talk with climate scientists I am impressed by the knowledge and the gap in communication between the ordinary people and the proffessionals.

Having observed this gap in Ethiopia I and other journalists interested in climate and environment issues established CEJA (Climate and Environmet Journalists Association).
