We are so pleased to welcome Wendy Turmel to the FDC committee. With a background in social work, Wendy brings in some much needed support to Catherine and to the rest of the committee and we much look forward to 'working' with her in the months to come.
In Wendy's own words: "I came to live in Kenya towards the end of 2012 from Jersey in the Channel Islands. During my time here I have been involved with the Kamgemi Resource Centre and completed an assessment for Jersken, a small orphanage based in Machakos, which is a charitable organisation run by a Kenyan lady who resides in Jersey.
I am a social worker by profession working latterly with a Fostering & Adoption Team concentrating mainly on local and overseas adoptions plus the assessment and support of long term foster carers. I also worked for a number of years with an Adult Social Work Team supporting vulnerable adults and spent time with the local Probation Service. I did voluntary work for the local Hospice whilst I was working part time as a member of a team supporting a young quadriplegic man to live as an independent life as was possible.
I am married to Bob and we have three adult children. Currently my main interests are golf and exploring beautiful Kenya."
