An Interview with L*Pida Member: Noelle Joubert

1.
What has inspired you to be a part of L*Pida?
Several years ago I heard about human
trafficking and I have had a special place in my heart for the cause ever since
that time. When I heard about the work that L*PIDA was doing I immediately
asked if I could be a part of it. I also love the fact that L*PIDA is doing
work that is related to one of the root causes of human trafficking: economic
vulnerability.


2.
What is your role in L*Pida?
I am the project manager. Basically all I
do is set up meetings and oversee what the team members are doing. I keep everybody
on the same page, working toward the same strategic goals.

3.
What is your long term vision for this
organization?
I would love to see L*PIDA help K.I.N achieve
their goal of self-sufficiency in the near future. I would also like to see
L*PIDA take up more projects in other countries in the more distant future. For
example, I would love to see L*PIDA take up a project in an African country.
L*PIDA has limitless possibilities.
