I believe this experience over the years allows me to now move on to the next level and be able to run the constituency while seeking advice and guidance from the community and the previous chairs.</font></div><div dir="auto" style="font-size:12.8px"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif" color="#000000">For many years, I have worked and volunteered at diverse civil society organisations and/or platforms and learned a lot, taking baby steps here and there.
