Serving as a board member for Dolen Cymru offered me a cherished opportunity to contribute to an organisation whose core mission resonates deeply with my own values. This role was not just about governance; it was about being part of a collective effort to ensure that Dolen Cymru’s projects not only succeeded but thrive. Together, we focused on setting strategic goals, developing policies, and overseeing financial and operational activities, all while ensuring compliance and ethical integrity. It is a collaboration that goes beyond mere oversight, aiming to increase access to opportunities and knowledge between Wales and Lesotho, thus actualising a more interconnected and empathetic world.
