Amanda Edwards
Education CoordinatorMy name is Amanda Edwards, and I am going into my fourth year at the University of Utah. My
major is Quantitative Analysis of Markets and Organizations (QAMO) and I am pursuing a minor in
both Sociology and Music, as well as an Honors degree. I am passionate about social change and am
planning to pursue a career in Public Policy. As I have transitioned from a Violin Performance Major
to my current set of degrees, I have learned a lot through my diverse classes and opportunities that
have made me confident in my decision to pursue this career.
One thing that makes me unique is my diversity of experience. With the degrees I am pursuing, I
have experience in the arts, human behavior, social science, business, and analytics. With these
experiences, I have a variety of perspectives that help me to have a more holistic problem solving
approach. These perspectives also make me extremely adaptable to various workplaces, goals, and
people. Besides my educational experiences, I have been lucky enough to have had valuable
international experience. The most notable of these experiences is the month that I lived in Nepal this
past summer. I traveled to Nepal, by myself, and lived with a Nepalese woman. My purpose in going
there was to work with a program called Eternal Hope Nepal. This program focuses on helping
children in the lowest castes gain an education and make lives for themselves. I worked all day with
the children, teaching lessons and learning to make meaningful connections through a very
significant language barrier. While engaging with these children and families who had an income of
three to five dollars a week, I became passionate about doing everything that I can to find ways to
help those that are born into difficult circumstances. I believe that the best way for me to help is to
become involved in the political system, and use my skills to help put systems in place that work.
I approach everything I do with my very best effort. While I was preparing to be a professional
musician through high school and the beginning portion of college, I learned valuable lessons about
what it takes to make a difference. I learned how to nit pick and problem solve, and to put my heart
and soul into something. Most importantly I learned to do my best, and to learn from the moments
when I fell short. I believe that I can be an asset to Ndes Foundation.

Enyih Nelson
NDES FOUNDATION LEGAL ADVISORReaching out to the needy, the underdogs of the society is a passion Nelson ENYIH has nursed and nurtured for many years beginning in his early life after post graduate studies in law when he served as a social worker in the lone social security institution of his native Cameroon named National Social Insurance Fund.
Spanning a period of four years from 2006 through 2010, he catered for the retired during his work as Old Age and Anticipated Old Age Pension Assessor, victims of work/service accident as Industrial Risk Assesor as well as maternity and related family social security schemes.
He then moved to further serve his country, this time as a member of the judiciary after succesful training at the prestigoeus National School of Administration and Magistracy.
From 2014-2017 he served as State Prosecutor in the Mbam and Inoubou Administrative Division which host a Court of First Instance and a High Court. Charged with the supervision of criminal investigations, prosecution of criminal suspects while ensuring the proper application of the law was a delicate yet privileged position to strike a balance between the weak and strong of the society so the former don't get jungle justiced by the latter.
Since May 2017 he serves in double capacity as a judge in the Mundemba Court of First Instance and Ndian High Court where as arbiter of peace he continues within the confinds of his chambers and service oath to ensure the equality of citizens inter se before the law. Worthy of note is the role played by his office in shaping the future of young precarious citizens during legal causes like custody of children after divorce of their parents, adoption, rehabilitation of young offenders etc
It is therefore not by chance that he is member of the Board of Trustees.
