I started working in February for Anglican Aid http://anglicanaid.org.au/ a faith based organisation which has international development projects in Africa and Asia. I was employed as Office Manager but I have many and varied duties which include all aspects of looking after the office as well as responsibility for African projects.I have been impressed by the quality of work done in Africa through our partners in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Egypt, Ethiopia and South Sudan. A little money from Australia goes a long way in Africa and is transforming communities where we work.
Hard to believe that less than two months ago I was driving to work and home in a job which was effectively subsidised by the taxpayers of NSW. This job seeks to encourage and engage donors and our projects are reliant on being able to do that. My boss is in the last week of a four week, 2,500km cycle ride "Smashing Cycles of Poverty" tour raising awareness on global injustice.
Is this the best job I have ever had? I really think it is!

An income generation project in Uganda is assisting people to feed their families, send kids to school and build concrete housing rather than the thatched houses which are easily destroyed in bad weather
I retired from overseas relief and development in April 2022 and then spent six months in Tanzania working in Musoma as a volunteerassisting the Anglican bishop. I am assisting with capacity building across various areas of the diocese. In 2023 I led a tour of 18 Australians who visited and observed the work of the church in the Mara Region - three dioceses - Mara, Tarime and Rorya.
