OUR VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers play an important part in helping DSI to support underprivileged people in and around Nyakahama village. Here are some pictures of volunteers helping to implement our recent projects.
Josepina Thomas
Josepina is an environmental practitioner with a bachelor's degree in Environmental Planning and Management. She chooses to work with NGOs like DSI as she admires the way they reach out to vulnerable groups, promoting awareness of the value of development through hard work and unity. She enjoys training vulnerable communities on new ways and ideas to conquer poverty.
