Privilege to be on a panel at the #MelbourneGlobalSymposium19 Really thought provoking to consider there are so many ways volunteers can add value. @AusVols thanks @amyzgray

Some perspective on volunteering in an #LMIC - What is the benefit of what we do and what is the burden? What is our work distracting or distrusting? @amyzgray #MelbourneGlobalSymposium19

What makes a great partnership? Mutual benefit was the theme today at the @AusVols Partnerships for Impact event with staff and partners @charcoal_lane

So excited that the partnership work with #DFAT and #ACIAR on #FarmersWithoutBorders now has farmers heading out. Tim and Amanda have so much to offer and they are looking forward to learning too. @ausvols #mutualbenefit

[Australian Volunteers Program @AusVols]

Tim and Amanda are about to begin a 6-week volunteer assignment in Timor-Leste. They're taking part in our #FarmersWithoutBorders initiative. In partnership with @ACIAR, we're supporting Aussie farmers to share their skills with farming communities across the Indo Pacific region.
