Yanara Marks and Sophie Belanger...
Meet Sophie Belanger and Yanara Marks, two World University Service Canada (WUSC) volunteers. Sophie was at WOFAD in 2014 to assess the feasibility of a number of income-generating activities to support organizational growth. She was here for a few weeks in the summer of 2014.
Yanara has been with WOFAD as a sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) adviser from July 2014 until March 2015. Her work mainly evolved around supporting programming for the organization, focusing on economic empowerment for women and youth, conducting research, working with members of the group therapy, resource mobilization and communications. |
Ashleigh O'connor-hanlon...
Ashleigh was with WOFAD for a short-term mandate. She supported us in the development of the new fruit-drier idea. Through her University connections, Ashleigh was able to link us to Enactus in England who has been collaborating with us on this project idea. She was the link between Enactus and WOFAD, sourcing packaging and labeling options for the dried mango product, doing research in stores about already existing products, and communicating with the engineering, marketing, and business students in England. As a result, we received two more volunteers through Enactus who stayed in Malawi for one week. In only one week, the two volunteers Autumn and Amy were able to purchase the necessary tools to build the newly engineered mango-drier, conduct a brief labor market assessment, collaborate with the carpenters who will be building the drier, and facilitate a training for the WOFAD women on health and safety standards, packaging and labeling ideas, and get their ideas on the project.
