About Me
Hey, my name is Eliza and I am from Cyprus. I am a Youth Worker and a Tour Guide. I have been traveling since I can remember myself. I am a person that seeks opportunities to help where needed and contribute with my skills to the world around me. As a youth worker, I have been in the position to help young people mostly in Europe and contribute to projects with my skills and expertise in Sustainable Tourism, Analog Photography, Upcycling, Peace Building, Human rights, and Conflict resolution. I am a person that believes in and supports Life Long Learning, and this is one of the main reasons why I want to accept this challenge and be part of the project from Wheeling2Help. Help me contribute with my way and get inspired by the world around me.
I spent the summer of 2020 working and volunteering with Wheeling2Help NGO in Greece. It was a life-changing experience as I got to understand what it means to be grateful for the world around me, and how kindness can have the greatest impact on people. The amazing and inspiring people I met during my journey with Wheeling2help made me take this great decision to be part of something bigger.
With your contribution, you will help me take part in the MyQuest project in Tanzania, organized by Wheeling2Help NGO. A volunteering experience, with impact in the local community, respect in nature through education and empowerment of the locals

Few words about SANA and its vision…
