Grief is important, helpful and a natural part of the human experience. Grief informs us and allows us to feel what is there. When we become aware of our grief, we should pause and acknowledge it without judging the feeling. We should learn tolerance as our grief interlaces itself into our lives. It may never completely away and instead evolve as we develop greater resilience.

Nerilee’s passion for helping those less advantaged can be traced back over many decades with 40 humanitarian trips behind her to all corners of the globe.  Her first trip was taken at just 19 years old to Papua New Guinea where she was airlifted into many remote villages to help out in whatever way she could.  This experience motivated Nerilee to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate than herself.

Nerilee is the Relationship and Team Trip Manager at Destiny Rescue, an internationally-recognized Christian, not-for-profit organization; dedicated to rescuing children trapped in the sex trade. This role perfectly combines Nerilee’s humanitarian experience with her love of adventure and helping others.

In her spare time, you could find Nerilee riding a wave, paddling a kayak, climbing a mountain (ok a hill), jumping 15,000 feet out of a plane to help save children trapped in human trafficking or snow skiing the Japanese Alps. 

Nerilee has a wicked sense of humour, is warm, down to earth and refreshingly honest. She is available as an enlightening speaker providing information on how your organisation can partner with Destiny Rescue to help rescue and empower young lives from the sex trade. If you’d like to see first-hand what we do in our overseas projects, Nerilee can organise and lead your private or shared team trips to Cambodia and Thailand.

My Journey began in 2006 after seeing a performance of a Ugandan children's choir from the Watoto Ministries.  Soon after, I joined with other like minded people to form an organisation called Mission Watoto Australia. From this small beginning WM underwent a name change and a restructure and became Humantarian Projects International Inc.  As HPI we were not restricted to Uganda and were able to branch out to different areas of the world where we could continue to assist orphans and other disadvantaged people.  More to come at the meeting on the 16th July.
