WPDC Team
Shelley HoughtonDirector, Secretary and Treasurer
Shelley has 30 years of experience working with indigenous people in the community development field. She spent 5 years working in West Papua from 2005 as an English program coordinator, developing a successful English tuition program which saw many students go on to teach English themselves. During that time she assisted a group of local Papuans at their request to commence the LEMAK Clean Water and Sanitation Program, the local partners of WPDC.
Shelley is fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, is a qualified CPA Accountant and is also accredited as an ESL Teacher. Shelley presently works as an Organisation Mentor with two indigenous grassroots organisations in Northeast Arnhem Land, and liaisons regularly with our LEMAK partners. Sally AndrewsDirector
