Volunteers and Supporters

Our work is helped by the contribution of a number of individual volunteers, who make up the SURF Projects Team. Their work is vital in extending the reach of SURF.

Special acknowledgment is made to the contribution of Kathy Shanklin, Rebecca Tinsley, Sam Hunt, and Joy Childs who all work tirelessly to help SURF raise funds in particular through schools and community groups in their area. Thanks to SURF patron Felicity Finch for her support in particular during the 20th Commemoration activities.

Special thanks are extended to Noam Schimmel for his thought leadership on issues of reparation for survivors.

We acknowledge as well the support of a number of volunteers in Rwanda, including Iran Seyed-Raeisy (Communications Officer of the Survivors Taskforce 20), Roisin Taylor (for her marketing work in support of aged survivors and AVEGA) Stuart Jones and Samantha Lakin, who have made very valuable contributions to our work in Rwanda. We thank the volunteers of OxVenture, from Kuwait, for choosing to partner with SURF on their first Rwandan project.

And, finally, thank you to all the team from Project Umubano from the UK Conservative Party who committed two weeks of their summer holiday to work on an international development project with Survivors Fund (SURF).
