I love to be apart of Catalyst in order to change the way people think towards vulnerable communities and create a more compassionate and less judgmental society, with equal opportunities for all and much less gender and social class bias. I also am excited to join Catalyst as I believe that being responsible needs to come from the heart, both to one another and the environment. The more people understand we are all connected and economic benefits local people gain through upcycle programmes the more attention they will give to environment protection and conservation too.
