Welcome to the OTL team,
Saul and Bridget! |
|
Bridget joined as our
Fundraising Coordinator 🥳
"After volunteering as a Tool Librarian in 2021, Bridget became a devotee of the Tool Library and is now helping to build its fundraising capacity. Originally from England, she grew up on a small farm learning to love animals, the outdoors, and all things practical, before a career in nursing and the non-profit sector got her hooked on tackling inequalities by supporting community well-being and sustainable development." |
... and Saul as our full-time
Tool Librarian for the summer ⚒️
"The reason that I joined the tool library team is because of the caring, passionate and knowledgeable community that makes me feel right at home." |
