Over the past years I’ve been working as a community project co-ordinator with disadvantaged communities in Latin American Countries.

In Ecuador I worked as a coordinator on a community development project to construct a school in a poor rural area. The project was designed to minimise migration of youth and increase the income of impoverished families. 

I’m currently based in Guatemala, working with a not-for-profit community development project. The project was established to develop self-sufficient communities through responsible management of natural resources. I’m restructuring their volunteer program, creating a central information system and developing their website.
