OUR ADVISOR
I am Edna Awaras of Damara descent. I was born and raised in Namibia, finished my tertiary education through the Cambridge System. Went on a Working Holiday to England 2002-2004. I obtained a diploma in Holistic Massage Therapy from the City of Bristol College-Uk. For seven years I managed a successful film company in Namibia, that specialized in documentary film making. In August 2013 I moved to Austria and I have been living here since. In Namibia, most of my work is to facilitate on behalf of the film crews, as a facilitator, field producer, and production managemer.
I met my wonderful friend Banza through our children who are going to the same school.
When Banza introduced me to Global New Generation (GNG), I was very intrigued by the website and how multinational it is. I met Sonja, the founder of GNG, at Banza’s birthday and later started being involved in GNG’s activities.
