Kristi Zan, USA

Kristi and her husband Eric arrived Buea on Tuesday July 6, 2010 to volunteer with HINT for about 6 months.
Kristi comes to join the rest of the team on the on-going School PCs Project.

Kristi had this to say about herself:

I am currently the Development Coordinator for a local non-profit organization. I research and develop grant proposals to obtain funding for our organization. I also maintain our donor database and am largely responsible for donor relations. As a member of the development team, I help develop and execute marketing schemes, as well as, aid in coordinating special events.

While in school, I worked as a social work intern for two health-related organizations (one hospice organization, and one focused on patients with cancer.) At these agencies, I had the chance to work one-on-one with clients, conduct needs assessments, and help clients work toward psychosocial well-being.

I also volunteered as part of the full-time summer staff with an Orphanage Outreach in the Dominican Republic.

While Eric will be focusing on the IT Project, Kristi will put her fundraising and project proposal writing skills to work and help us hpefully get more resources for our on-going projects.

Through DevelopAfrica.org and Firsrgiving.com, they have been able to realize more than $3,000 that will go towards supporting the School PCs Project. Thank you Eric and Kristi for your support. We look forward to working with you.
