Spanish Community. As a member of the Lebanese community, she holds a chair position in the S.A. Lebanese Women’s Association and volunteers in the S.A. Elder Abuse Prevention Association. Her community engagement and participation also includes a number of offshore projects. In November 2009 she became a member of and serves as an advisor to the UNESCO Lebanese Training Professionals Program which helps women from Arab countries . Since 2006 she has also been an active member of RES Foundation Australia Inc., where she sits on the Advisory Board. Among other aims, RES seeks to alleviate Bangladesh’s rural poverty through financial capability development and the empowerment of women.
