It is always a great sadness that we feel, separated from a person with whom we had human relations in many forms.
I had the opportunity to meet Roger for the first time in 1997, following a job interview for the "Cameroon Environmental Education Support Project."
With this opportunity to join the staff, I familiarized myself with the issues on the preservation of our environment, and for which I remain a big fan to date.
Although I left LEF / Cameroon for personal reasons, it was with pleasure that I responded positively to the invitation of Roger and Chris to be part of the FCTV Board members.

Roger Hammond, the founder of Living Earth Foundation and its Development Director, passed away at his home on 16 September 2012 after a short illness.
Roger was tireless in bringing disparate groups of people together - government officials, oil industry executives and ordinary members of the public - to provide them with the tools and information to help them to solve their environmental and social concerns.
Roger formed Living Earth Foundation in 1987. It afforded him the platform to pursue his vision of turning ideas into action and making real and lasting changes to people's lives across the globe.
He will be sadly missed by his wife Sonia and his family, as well as by his many friends, colleagues and Living Earth partners around the world.
Roger Hammond was a tireless worker, a goal getter and good operator. He did well during his life time to positively influence society. He worked towards his vision in life and was not deterred. He will certainly be missed by many. I specially condole with his family during this moment of grief. May his soul rest in peace.
(I do not know what words to use to express the greatness, the sympathy and courage Roger Hammond deposited. I do not know how else to express my great sadness to learn the founder is gone beyond LIVING EARTH, but I rejoice that in spite of all, I have met him and said good morning every morning when he arrived at the office of Douala CAMEROON FCTV.
I would like to express my condolences to SONIA especially, Roger's family, colleagues, acquaintances and friends.
Although regrettably I never knew Roger Hammond personally, I heard about his work from his good friend Damien Lewis, and have come to admire what he did. My sympathies and with that, wishing the strong continuation of his work as I am sure he would have wanted just that as a fitting memorial. With deep respects Mukesh Kapila.
Roger Hammond was a very important person in my life. He was one of the people who shared my vision regarding the responsibility of the private sector in sustainable development and environmental conservation. And we both shared a passion of West Africa. He was instrumental in setting me on the path that my career has taken ever since I first met him. I will always remember him as a man of ideas and a man who siezed that day and made his ideas possible. Thank you Roger for inspiring greatness in others.

Niraj Saraf is a consultant, coach, and tutor at Ashridge Business School. He started his career as a ‘Fast-Streamer' in the MOD where his assignments ranged from being the Department's policy lead on International Humanitarian Law to the Public-Private Partnerships Unit where we worked across the MOD to develop commercial opportunities based on existing and planned IT assets. After an MBA, he joined Credit Suisse where he spent 2.5 years developing and delivering strategic projects for its Asset Management division and then decided to take a departure from formal organisational environments by spending a year in Sarajevo as a VSO Volunteer, helping a local CSO develop its long term strategy. On his return, he spent some time helping to set up the Government's Post-Conflict Reconstruction Unit (now the Stabilisation Unit) and then went on to help develop and launch a new business.
Since 2006, he has primarily worked as a consultant in the areas of strategy and operational strategy (feasibility studies, business cases, and programme benefits realisation planning). He enjoys drawing on the rich diversity of his background to bring strategy development to life, making it relevant, engaging, and practical. He is currently pursuing interests in the areas of sustainability and systems innovation.
