Embracing Volunteer Work Experience

During Student Volunteering Week, I reflect on my journey as a volunteer. My commitment to UNICEF spans four years, involving activities like fundraising, campaigning, and international development. This experience has allowed me to make a significant impact on global issues while enhancing my skills in fundraising & grant writing, resilience & staying positive, and creativity & innovation.

Transformative Adventures

Volunteering has opened doors to incredible experiences worldwide. From speaking engagements at major conferences to grassroots campaigns at Glastonbury, and visiting projects in Africa, these opportunities have broadened my perspective and enriched my life.

A Catalyst for Personal Growth

Volunteering has not only helped me chart a career path in child protection and international development but also introduced me to inspiring individuals who have influenced my worldview. It has instilled in me a passion for civic engagement, education, and combating homelessness & poverty.
