Volunteering
Over the winters of 2020, 2021, and 2023 I have volunteered with Care4Calais, an organisation which supports refugees in Northern France. I helped distribute much needed items across Calais and Dunkirk, as well as providing services to preserve the dignity of refugees. These experiences have ignited my passion to advocate for refugee rights and safe passage for refugees.
