I stumbled across the peoples and place website purely by chance and Kate was very responsive. When you are emailing someone it is often very hard to gauge their enthusiasm and when I spoke to Kate she instantly understood what I was looking for. Though my desired project was very specific and I really liked the way she was upfront in saying they were unable to accommodate that specific request but here are some alternative which I had not considered and which would utilise my skills and broaden my skill set. She suggested a project in The Gambia which would “turn your experience in insolvency on its head.” And although it is a cliché I really liked the fact that she was able to think outside the box.
