Receiving a Carolina Nyberg-Steiser bursary programme; “I felt privileged to be one of the few young women to receive the bursary. Networking with likeminded people gave me a chance to learn from other professionals and build long lasting networks. The speakers’ presentations made me challenge my thinking, and re-think my fundraising ideas. I left there more determined and wanting to do more for my organization and the communities we’re impacting.”
