Angela Jones, Co-Director of The Otesha Project (Australia), is a true Melbournite and rode with Cycle for Sustainability on their 2006 tour from Sydney to Hobart with giggles and warm hearted love along the way. She brings her amazing networking skills, drive, passion for youth involvement, strong beliefs in sustainability, and amazing talent at recruiting heaps of people into projects. Angela rocks up on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to fun day (she doesn’t call it work). Angela brings heaps of smiles, laughter and love to the job too which everyone in the office appreciates. “Everything should be fun! I want to enjoy what I’m doing or it’s not worth doing.”

Kate, Co-Director of The Otesha Project (Australia), is always on the go, drinking fair-trade coffee at least twice a day, planning housing cooperatives, eating vegetarian dumplings when ever she can, singing and playing guitar in her spare time as well as riding her gorgeous bike Aphrodite around Brunswick and Melbourne. Kate has lived and travelled around the world, studied, worked and done so many things, but has always focused on the environment and on saving the world - she loves connecting with creative interesting people and believes that everyone has an amazing story to share, everyone is marvellous, unique and special and that we can truly save this planet - one beautiful magical person at a time.
