Volunteer of the Month.

Contratulations to our Volunteer of the Month Karen Hawes who recently volunteered with RAM through our base in Lethem Guyana.  Her contribution as a non-medical volunteer stands out in an action packed month for the organization.  Karen worked many quiet hours at the office setting up IT systems that will be the platform for the organizations website, email, VOI, and much more.  She pulled all sorts of favors from her many web host and designer friends to get the components of the framework uploaded (since our internet connection is generally miserable). 

She also joined the women's health team visiting a number or remote communities to address the issue of cervical cancer.  Karen visited us as part of a hemisphere-wide tour promoting responsible waste management and raising awareness about all things related to trash, recycling, garbage, and junk......check her out at http://www.karenhawes.com/ and http://www.trashtrip.com/  She has volunteered with the RAM organization all over the world for over seven years - including a previous trip to Guyana in 2004.
