We’d like to introduce to you two new colleagues who have joined and will join the Inclusive Development Team in March and April.        

Angelique Kester, involved in the STEP project (training manual, tools, and evaluation), has begun working for the Liliane Foundation as adviser on rehabilitation as per the first of March. Her passion is to increase participation of children with disabilities and their families in daily life and to have their voices heard. Her many years of experience as an occupational therapist working in paediatric rehabilitation and day-care centres for children with disabilities in the Netherlands will no doubt contribute to the work LF is already doing on Community Based Development. 

The first of April Friederike Ertmer will join the team as junior adviser Rehabilitation and Community-Based Inclusive Development. Friederike has experience working as a speech therapist in the Netherlands and has a master degree in Global Health. 

Huib Cornielje will remain active as a consultant on Rehabilitation and Community-Based Inclusive Development for the Liliane Foundation and will work together with Angelique and Friederike.
