Volunteer Work

UNICEF AND CARE4CALAIS

As a UNICEF Student Ambassador, I organised several fundraising initiatives, including leading and chairing a high-profile online event with Gulwali Passarlay, an Afghan refugee and author. Alongside this, I managed a blog focused on global human rights issues, using the platform to raise awareness and engage with critical topics. Additionally, I volunteered in Calais with the charity Care4Calais, where I provided hands-on support to refugees and documented my experience in a published article, highlighting the humanitarian challenges in the region.
