Friends of Médecins Sans Frontières: Fundraising Coordinator

Hi!
My name is Ardra, and I’m thrilled to be running for the role of Fundraising Officer this year. I’m incredibly passionate about the life-saving work MSF does, and I’ve been closely following their recent efforts, particularly in Palestine—specifically Hebron, Nablus, and Qalqilya. I deeply admire their unwavering commitment to providing both physical and psychological support to these regions, as well as many other countries in need.

As Fundraising Officer, I’m excited to help support MSF’s mission in every way we can. I’m confident in my ability to raise funds for such a transparent and impactful organization, especially given MSF’s openness about their annual budget and operations.

I have plenty of ideas to engage our community, including sponsored runs, charity dinners, and pop-up thrift shops, with all proceeds going to MSF. With my experience, organizational skills, and passion, I’m confident I can take on the challenge of this role and make a real difference.
