Administrator

Mr Paul Caesar

Having retired in 2017 after 40 years in the power generation industry, I am about a third of the way through a B A (International Aid & Development). Of particular concern to me is the inequitable spread of wealth throughout the world, and so it is a privilege for me to be able to support an organization like ASSIDA whose aims are to help in addressing the consequences of this problem.

Hi, my name is Ms Bianca. I am a student at Macquarie University pursuing my Bachelor of Economics. I am also working with the African Sub-Sahara International Development Agency as international volunteer. One of my dream is to work as an international humanitarian staff with ASSIDA and eventually Amnesty International and one day the UN. I am concerned about the inequality of human lives in this world and believe with joint effort we are capable overcoming these challenges.

Volunteer 

I recently graduated from the University of Sydney in Radiography and I am currently working as a Radiographer. I am someone who really enjoys interacting with different personalities, learning many things about a person such as their culture and lifestyles and in this process offering help to others in any way I can. Working in healthcare has shown me the various barriers some of the migrant and refugee patients I have worked with face and I am glad to be working with organizations such as ASSIDA and participating in the humanitarian work they perform. I currently work in the administrative side of ASSIDA, communicating with other members, the public, and other organizations to help build ASSIDA and reach out to those in need.
