And the last but not least…
Nayla – RFP staff to support OIC
Starting my story by volunteering for 3,5 years with OIC, I learned many things more than I could possibly imagine. First time proposing my self as a volunteer and rejected 2 times have not made me give up since I had a strong feeling that I have my calling here. Ever since my joining, I learned about how selfish some human could be and how some others try to make it right. And I want to be one of human that make it right. All of my life, I want to be useful and working to support OIC has given me no other than that. Even take me to next level of being useful, because our work will bring the impact to nature, wildlife and especially human.
OIC’s women staff are inspiring indeed. We are lucky to have them and we won’t have it the other way. Working in the conservation world that is dominated by men because of the hard work, has proved that they are strong and dedicated. Walking inside of the forest, under the heat of sunlight that is the main nightmare of Asian women, humidity, ground hard work of restoration are the enhancing of their beauty.
Happy international women day for OIC women staff! yes, they inspire the world.
