Volunteer
Jorge He/Him
Jorge has been volunteering for EWA for over a year, he has helped pack many period packs & surgery packs, carried many boxes & helped sort items and over lockdown packed hundreds of period packs. Jorge is not worried about the stigma around periods, because to him there is not one, he is happy to help anyone that needs period items,
When Jorge is not helping with EWA you can find him playing PS4 with his friends and listing to music

Hi I’m Mara!
I am super excited to be on board helping at EWA! Having Endo myself I understand how hard it can be, and believe it is important to help people understand and educate them on everything period related!
I currently work in HR and in my spare time I love to garden and go to the gym!
