Nicola Fishman (Nikki) RGN, RSCN, Volunteer and Trustee for Dadamac Foundation, Dadamac Limited UK Manager

A mutual contact suggested in 2008 that Pam and Nikki should meet to discuss overlapping interests and the two first worked together on the Pyramid of Peace. It was at this time that Nikki was instrumental in re-organising the charity CAWD into Dadamac Foundation.

When Pam needed help for Dadamac Limited Nikki seemed the obvious choice. She got to know the background and structures and how things worked.

Nikki’s role in Dadamac Foundation has since changed to reflect her particular interests. For example none of the information we gathered relating to Sickle cell and the HIV/AIDS projects would have been collected without Nikki. She is hoping others will come forward to help with the task and to collect similar information on other projects we want to promote - and to be “ambassadors”. (There is a lot of room for more volunteers in Dadamac Foundation)

Nikki’s role in the Dadamac Ltd UK office is complementary to her work with Dadamac Foundation. Both use her knowledge of Dadamac people, structures and systems. As in Dadamac Foundation, her Dadamac Ltd role is developing around the skills and interests she brings from her wider life experience.

As Dadamac UK Manager, this involves supporting Pamela McLean (in UK) and John Dada (online) in developing Dadamac Ltd and getting the right relationships between the different parts of Dadamac, the different people, and the groups involved.
