After more than 25 years in the corporate world in the capacity of Executive Assistant in the Legal, Financial and Human Resources sectors, Noelene joined Nakuru Hope Op Shop on a voluntary basis in September 2021.  In February 2023 she, along with Susan Saleeba and 9 other volunteers, visited Gabriel Learning Centre and Orphanage in the slums of Nakuru, Kenya.  The experience was life changing and gave her a greater appreciation and understanding of the charity and her passion grew.  She knows first-hand that Nakuru Hope does make a huge difference to so many who would otherwise go without. In August 2023 Noelene became a member of the Nakuru Hope Board and is the Operational Director of Hope Op Shop. Noelene was born in Perth, Western Australia and has two adult children and three grandchildren.
