Melati Wijsen
“I call myself a changemaker because I believe a better world is possible. I emphasise the power of curiosity because it is a driving force every entrepreneur should have. It’s the curiosity about the world around us, the curiosity about why things are the way they are, and also the curiosity about what else is possible. That’s a skill I believe every aspiring entrepreneur needs to have."
A huge thank you to all our volunteers!
You are a valued part of PUM, and we’re truly grateful for your commitment as a PUM volunteer.
Together, we shape a more sustainable future. Together we grow!
