Welcome Jess!
July 30, 2015
We’ve recently welcomed Jessica Debicki to the UK office as an Events Management Volunteers. Jess is currently studying English Language and Linguistics at the University of York and hopes to pursue a career in the charity sector, focusing on education/world development. She has previously volunteered in Costa Rica and Bali, teaching English to children. She feels strongly about the importance of education for all, which is why she was drawn to African Revival. Jess loves to travel and hopes to visit every continent.
Having now volunteered with us for a few weeks, we caught up with Jess to see how she was finding life volunteering at African Revival.

Have you ever volunteered before?
