Hello, world. I am Samantha Constance, working to advise the WABLE team on this wonderful project’s next steps. It has been a while since I worked with a sustainable project, my background being in commercial supply chain and operations. My desire to be more involved with giving something meaningful back drives me to offer time, expertise and enthusiasm to help the WABLE team grow so more people can be offered and experience what we in the western world take for granted.

The WABLE values, what they offer and how they have put into practice are precisely what I want to be involved in. It excites me there are organisations still out there that deliver and with positive impact. I am privileged to be involved.
