Feb 2015 - Jan 2017
As a fundraiser, I looked for new monthly donators for UNICEF in Helsinki and many other cities and towns in Finland. The work required knowledge of human rights, children's rights and development issues, as well as a deeper knowledge of different fields of the work UNICEF does around the world. Argumentation and marketing skills are of high importance to hit the profit targets.
