Name: David Donaldson

Favorite band: U2, because of the humanitarian message of Bono

Favorite Books: Dune, anything by Isaac Asimov and for history Colleen McCullloch and for politics John Grisham.

Former Achievements: 1995 Winner of the Australian Universities wake-boarding quarterfinal. 1994 Secretary of the Sydney University Snowboarding association, 1998 Winner of the Northwest section of the Wollongong Toastmasters (public speaking) semi-final.

Hobbies: Hiking, all water sports that require difficult to put together equipment, playing and singing heavy metal ballads with difficult guitar solos on a semi-acoustic guitar, reading non-technical scientific magazines and travelling to developing countries like Bali.

Reason for Joining Hope International: "I've had such a blast in the last 7 years after leaving University, I just want to give something back especially to the kiddies. A lot of them don't have much to smile about, I guess I just want to give them some hope. And I think it will be a great experience for me. I will know what its like for these type of people. Why did I join Hope and not some other organization. I guess I really like the organizations volunteer philosophy "people who want to help regardless of ability".
