Top 5 humanitarian jobs of the week 14.02.17
Our Valentine's Day special… specially for those heartbroken and looking to run away (joking, not joking).
In seriousness, with the geopolitical situation feeling precarious, many of us are drawn to utopian dreams. We’re here to slap on a dose of reality and say loud and clear:
YOU GOT TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!
There comes a point, for all of us, where we have to make the call.
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. (Harriet Tubman)
Below are best of this week’s ENTRY LEVEL gigs. Get on board and make the change.
