To Whom It May Concern
I would like to commend Varun Thomas for volunteering to help us through August 2019 to
February 2020 with our SalesForce Implementation project.
Varun's experience as a programmer meant that he was invaluable for this work, and his
leadership qualities were recognized by having responsibility of the Volunteer Module,
leading a team of 3. This is a crucial part of the Refugee Orientation Centre trust, which
relies heavily on volunteers to enable our programs and workshops to run on minimal
funding.
His efforts were rewarded by his team twice winning the presentation section marking the
end of each phase of implementation. The real payoff though, is knowing that our former
refugee clients are going to have their interactions with us accurately recorded and
measured, with volunteers matched to their best fit.
He loves to work with others, has good communication skills and slotted very easily into our
organization. He worked hard in unusual conditions where resources were limited, but was
able to rise to the myriad challenges and was very reliable.
Although his time with us has come to an end, we know that he will find the experience he
had with us very useful in the future, gaining capabilities in resourcefulness, empathy with
others and reliability, as well as picking up skills in a new program. Thank you Varun for
coming to work with us, we will miss you!
Yours sincerely
(Acting) Director
