Always keen to bring you the best of the best at our conferences, we would like to introduce you to Mark ‘Squiz’ Squirrel who will be speaking at the 81st RWTA National Conference.
Squiz is the author of a memoir ‘From Arafat to Everest’ and has received the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for service to the international community through humanitarian aid.
Mark “Squiz” Squirrell OAM has lived a high risk and high impact life.
He was awarded the coveted ‘Green Beret’ whilst serving with the Australian Commando’s and then went on to work across the globe as an International Aid Worker.
Squiz escorted food convoys through the Gaza Strip, negotiated with the Liberation Tigers of Tamel Eelam (Tamil Tigers) and brokered deals with Somali Clansmen to ensure the safe delivery of United Nations food aid.
Squiz will be speaking of how his exposure to conflict and in particular, those that endure poverty, inspired him to climb Mount Everest to raise awareness of global hunger. The cold chain feeds people, delivering confidence in food quality, every day. Squiz, in his own way, did the same.
