Their rich insights, varied experiences and commitment to social justice and human rights is always inspiring and educational for my students - and myself. Students are impressed by their commitment, sacrifices, dedication and hard-work and usually ask many good questions of them - including how they began their journey, how they balance their personal/professional lives and cope with the power dynamics which influence International Development/Humanitarian Work.
I feel very privileged to have such wonderful colleagues and it is an honour for me that our friendships and collegiality can continue and be passed on to new generations of potential professionals committed to equality and democracy.
Congratulations for your great commitment and contributions
