Meet Rachael - STIR Subby
Meet Rach.
"I currently work for World Vision in the Corporate Partnerships team, and am heading overseas in June to work as a camp counselor in the US teaching photography!
I finished uni last year, with a Bachelor of Communication (Professional Communication) at RMIT.
I enjoy writing, singing, all kinds of music, reading, cooking, hanging out with friends and of course doing whatever I can to advocate and speak out for those who need our help."
What STIRS you?
"We're part of a generation who can actually do something about eradicating extreme poverty. Other generations before us have talked about it, but we now have the opportunity and the responsibility to do something.
It’s really exciting that so many people feel this way and want to work hard to help those suffering. But we can always use more help and I think part of our responsibility to those in poor communities is make sure they have as people as they can fighting and speaking out for them.
And that’s our job as Stirrers! Exciting!"
