Bio
Ömer Faruk Sönmez
Dr.Zaheer is an inspiring young dentist who has passionately been working on the oral health response in the emergency humanitarian settings. She brings so much valuable insights from her field experince in the humanitarian crisis showing how oral health should be handled among refugee settings. We luckily hosted her in our webinar in EDSA and listened to her engaging speech. I look forward to working with her again!

Khaleda is an excellent project support with the makings of a fantastic project manager for the future. Mature beyond her years, Khaleda is articulate and able to convey her point clearly. An excellent co-ordinator, with a flare for statistics and figures. Khaleda would be an asset to any team and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
