Maggie Twyford - Volunteering at Misión México

Maggie Twyford will join us On-Line, to present on her work as a volunteer at Misión México. She started her career as a Junior Officer in the Royal Australian Navy in 2012, with the majority of her time spent at the Australian Defence Force Academy. In 2016, after 4 and a half years of service, she embarked on a different career journey, working her way to a management position within the hospitality industry. In 2018 she made the decision to volunteer overseas for 5 months with an organisation called Misión México. Misión México is a children's refuge situated on the border of Mexico and Guatemala in a town called Tapachula. It provides a loving, secure family home for children of all ages who have been abused, neglected, orphaned or abandoned, and mostly from backgrounds of extreme poverty. She had hoped to return to Tapachula this year, as a permanent staff member of Misión México, however due to the current pandemic has had to work remotely.

The meeting will be conducted via Zoom. A link will be sent to all members. Friends and potential members welcome - please send a request if you would like to join.
