Information on former  UN Volunteers in Lesotho
 
Hi, I’m Orfhlaith Ramsey, volunteering in Lesotho from Ireland. So far, my work career has spanned civil society, government, education, private enterprise and self-employment. I am interested in languages, people and building social networks to get things done. This has led to a Diploma in French, a BA in History and Linguistics and a Masters in Business Administration. Volunteerism is, I feel, the ultimate bridge-builder for personal and societal growth and development, especially when we get community, government, education and business all volunteering together. I believe this is possible in Lesotho, where people greet me with the words ‘Welcome home’.
 
I’m Ntsieli M. Tlahali, a national of Lesotho. I joined United Nations Volunteer in 2003 after working six (6) years with UNDP. My work involves administration of UNV Volunteers
 

Teresa Wyndham-Smith is from New Zealand. She's based in the Ministry of Justice, Human Rights and the Correctional Service working on the establishment of the Lesotho Human Rights Commission. She also worked in the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftainship for 16 months assisting with the development of communication processes and materials. Prior to coming to Lesotho she was the Communications Manager for a refugee resettlement NGO in New Zealand.

"Working in the two Ministries has given me a unique insight into both life as a southern African public servant and the practical workings of development projects. Lesotho is a fascinating country and a great base from which to learn more about sub-Saharan Africa".
 

 
Hi, my name is Daniel Stoltz, UNV Civil Society Specialist stationed in Maseru, Lesotho. My prior work experience, education and training covers the areas of journalism, civil society, project management, culture and promotion. I have a vocational diploma in project management, inclusive of studies in international cooperation and organizational theory. My interest in social relations and structures has led to studies in Sociology at the Lund University, Sweden. Volunteering to me is the opportunity to take part in a new society and to broaden one’s perspective. It contributes to a deepened understanding of societal dynamics and the roles we all play in it.
 
Melissa Jakola is the M&E Specialist UNV for the Lesotho Renewable Energy-Based Rural Electrification (LREBRE) project- implemented by the Ministry of Natural Resources, through the Department of Energy, in collaboration with Global Environment Facility and UNDP.

Melissa hails from Sudbury, Canada and has a degree in Environmental Earth Science. She has worked in the environmental field for 5 years and volunteered in South Africa, Honduras, Costa Rica, Taiwan and a First Nations community in Canada.

Melissa is excited to be part of the LREBRE project; she enjoys living in Lesotho and is driven forward through the hope of the project to support the government in its efforts to increase the electrification of the Basotho people.
