A new job for 2009
Well I didn’t have to wait for too long to get that new job!!
I have just been offered a full-time job with Compassion Australia. Compassion is very similar to World Vision, incorporating one on one child sponsorship between donors and children in developing countries. You can find out about them at http://www.compassion.com.au.
I will be working as the Donor Relations Manager for Western Australia, which will enable me to stay in Australia until I have at least finished my MBA, but also gets me into the area that I want to work in – international aid and development. The job includes a lot of travel, mostly around WA and the NT which is great, and will probably also include a couple of field trips every year into the Compassion projects overseas. So it’s a great job for me – including flexibility, travel, interesting work, and christian ethos.
I’ll be visiting some Compassion Projects near Chiang Rai as part of my holiday in Thailand later this week so that I can get some first hand experience of the work that Compassion do here in Thailand. All in all I think it promises to be an exciting year!!!
