Humbling, educational and great experience using my skills developed in my Diploma in case ManagementThe good thingsWorking with like minded people who were passionate to the plight of people seeking asylum fleeing persecution. Seeing the smiles and joy on the faces of the families appreciative of what we were able to help them with, a very humbling experience
The challengesDue to Govt policy, not being able to give them the assurity and resources, for example, housing, timelines for their visas etc. so much of what we wanted to do was restricted by the government. I found the mental anxiety of this along with the stories of what had happened to make them flee, heart wrenching an at times emotionally distressed about their ongoing, unnecessary stress caused by out of touch Politicians.
