Do you know someone who thinks of themselves as an ordinary person, but who is doing extraordinary things?

Someone who has challenges thrown at them every single day. Instead of sitting around and waiting for someone else to do something, they face it and get on to solving it. Then they share their learnings with others.

To Anika Molesworth, it's a quintessential trait of people in rural Australia. It's a community she loves and calls home.

But even the most resilient people can get worn out when challenges endure.
Anika has also experienced this with ongoing drought at her family's farm. She has made it her mission to help rural Australians be better prepared for drought and changes in the climate.

“I think a drought-resilient Australia is a community that is evolving, constantly learning more about changes in the natural world and the influence those changes have on community and business. That is what being prepared is, and when you're prepared you feel like you're standing on solid ground, when you're prepared you have more flexibility to look after your business, community and mental health.”

If you can think of someone that is ready to learn more about resilience thinking and use their knowledge to help their community through tough times, let them know applications for the Drought Resilience Leaders Development Program close this Sunday 5 November 2021 👉 https://bit.ly/DRLDProgram

Are you looking for a way to make an impact this Christmas, but are short on time?

Donate to our Christmas Alumni Scholarship Appeal and pay the way for someone on our Australian Rural Leadership Program Cohort 30.

Alumni-funded scholarships give people who don't fit into an industry or commodity-specific scholarship the opportunity to expand their leadership skills.

Oli Le Lievre of Humans of Agriculture is one of two recipients so far. The ARLP became a bucket list item for him after completing a short course.

While he started out on a farm, Oli's career has seen him work at a corporate and start-up level. He now works in marketing and media across the agriculture industry and all of its commodities - not placing him neatly into commodity-bound scholarships.

Give someone like Oli the chance to experience a once in a lifetime professional development opportunity with a donation to our Christmas Alumni Scholarship Appeal 👉 https://bit.ly/MerryChristmasARLP
