SKIP - Supporting Kids In Peru July 01, 2011 - August 01, 2012
Having been born in England, yet brought up in Kenya for 11 years before moving to Australia, and just to top it off, being Indian by culture, I have been lucky enough to experience a number of different cultures and have some very unique and interesting experiences.
I have also had the opportunity to witness first hand the injustices that exist in the world and believe that every person in the world should at the very least, be given the opportunity to follow the path they wish to follow.
In terms of a career, I would like to work in the international development sector, using my skills and qualifications to contribute towards social organisations which are transparent, genuine and well thought out to make sustainable change for the people who legitimately need it.
