On Tuesday 5 August, Mari-Cruz Evuna, Ambassador of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea to the UK, visited Equatorial Guinean students at the Trinity College International Study Centre in Dublin, Ireland. She met with students to join in celebrations of the national holiday of Equatorial Guinea of 3 August. Her Excellency also heard about their experiences studying in the city and made a donation to the Centre on behalf of the Embassy.
Her Excellency met with 26 Equatorial Guinean students, celebrating over a lunch in the city. Speaking to the Ambassador over lunch, the students spoke of how they have embraced Irish culture and wish to obtain their degrees and return to their home country to aid the economic development of the region.
The International Study Centre – part of Trinity College, University of Dublin – offers intensive English courses for international students to qualify for university. The Embassy is working closely with the Equatorial Guinean national energy company GEPetrol to ensure that the students’ needs are met through scholarships. To aid this, the Embassy has donated 14,000 euros to the students.
