Volunteer profile: Meet Erin
Over the last few years, Made With Hope has grown into a wonderful community of people dedicated to alleviating poverty in Tanzania.
We have a strong team of trustees and volunteers who work hard to develop multiple aspects of Made With Hope.
We thought it would be nice to introduce our volunteers - welcome, Erin!
We asked Erin a handful of quick-fire questions to get to know her better…
Role at Made With Hope: Marketing and Communications Assistant
Place you grew up: Macclesfield, Cheshire
Favourite hobby: Cheerleading!
Best place you’ve been to: Dharamshala, India
Biggest motivation: Knowing that what I do is making a difference, even if it’s only small!
What if…?
If you could meet any living person for dinner, who would you pick and why?
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, without a doubt. I find American politics fascinating and would love to speak to her all about them, especially because she’s come from a more normal background than the majority of politicians. I think she’s doing absolutely amazing things and can’t help but be impressed considering her age!
If you had 25 hours a day, how would you use your extra time?
Reading! I love reading and I often get mad when I can’t find time to finish more chapters before I have to go to bed in order to get up for work in the morning.
If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I think I’d probably go with curry because there are so many varieties so I don’t think I’d get bored.
We appreciate all our volunteers who choose to dedicate their time at Made With Hope. Erin reveals all about why she decided to support us…
What is your biggest passion in international development?
Definitely education. I work in the education sector in the UK, so I’ve seen first hand how important it is.
What made you decide to get involved with MWH?
I really wanted to fill up some spare time and loved that it was a local charity that was dealing with areas that I’m so passionate about, such as girls empowerment and education.
What do you enjoy most about working at MWH?
There seems to be such a team spirit, which makes it all the more enjoyable especially as at the moment, we can’t communicate in person!
What are you most looking forward to at MWH in the future?
I’m looking forward to seeing the impact of current projects and how future projects might pan out. The team is already doing such amazing work, and I can’t wait to see how much of a difference its all making.
