Trisha Healy

Bio: Hi all! My name is Trisha Healy and I am about to embark on a very exciting trip to Ecuador as a volunteer. I fly to Quito on April 27th to spend 16 weeks participating in a micro-financing project. I have been given a very lucky opportunity by my employer, SouthWestern, to travel as their very first corporate volunteer. Tying in with SouthWestern's Corporate Social Responsibility ethos, this trip sees me take a career break from my job as a credit control supervisor to lend my time at a community bank/credit-union, which offers savings and micro-loans to individuals, helping them become self-sufficient and entrepreneurial. During this trip I aim to spend time sharing the skills that I have gained through my career to date, while also gaining experience of Ecuadorian culture and developmental issues.
