Bio
Justine Curtis
I can not thank Danny enough for all that he has done for Inspired, our team and our amazing fundraisers. From his first ascent and brilliance on Kilimanjaro to being such a great leader in the office and causing amazing Team Leaders and Doctors to follow in his footsteps around the world. I have no doubt Danny has been one of our most loved and passionate team members, with a commitment to excellence. He truly embodies what Inspired is all about, and has been such a champion for making a difference in the world. I hope that he continues to be a very loved and essential part of our family, leading more adventures for us around the world!

Danny was an invaluable asset to our organisation. Danny worked consistently at a high standard. He has excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Danny was able to work independently with the children or as part of the Children’s Counselling team. Danny displayed exceptional leadership skills and could adapt to changing situations with ease and confidence. As the camp leader, Danny brought a tremendous amount of energy and enthusiasm to the camp. The children and caregiver’s engaged well with him and noted the importance of having a positive role model available. The young boys were enamoured by Danny and looked to him for guidance. In his position as Camp Leader, Danny’s responsibility was to supervise daily activities for fifteen children. The focus of the camp is to build upon the skills, which have been explored within counselling, observing the families working together as a unit, utilising appropriate communication skills and developing boundaries with their own family and each other due to their own experiences of domestic violence. Danny remained calm, enthusiastic and professional throughout the camp experience
