Here she is! WAWWD's very own Kung Fu Black Belt. Who would have thought that such a sweet smiley Dutch lass could achieve such a thing? But she did last month and we're darned proud of her. Congratulations to Tom & Susan Beechy in North Vancouver, Helga Schreiber in Cologne and Caroline Esterson in Kent on guessing the correct answer.
(Katie and Ella will be receiving counselling to help them understand just why so many people thought it was them!!!)
Nicole joined us nearly 2 years ago and runs our Young Speakers Programme with Katie. We thought you might like to know a bit more about her.
What and where did you study?
I studied ‘Modern Languages and European Studies’ at the University of West England in Bristol
What did you do before you joined WAWWD?
I spent 2 years in Latin America working on community development projects, then came to London and did an MA in ‘Education and International Development’, worked for a charity (Changemakers) helping young people set up their own community projects, had to get out of London a bit and spent a few months working on farms in New Zealand, came back to London and was lucky enough to find a job at WAWWD!
What are you passionate about in life?
About making the world a more just and fairer place, about making cities greener, keeping fit, my friends and family.
What inspires / excites you about WAWWD?
Working with a great group of people. Getting important social and environmental messages across in a non-patronising and creative way. Reaching out to lots and lots of people that might otherwise not engage in these issues. The fact that we can all do something, no matter how small.
How many and which languages do you speak?
I speak 4 – Dutch, English, French and Spanish
When was the last time you cried?

3 weeks ago when I slipped my disk, couldn’t move and did not know what to do
If you could ask one million people to do one thing, what would it be?
To be positive … or if that’s not simple enough … then to cycle to work!
