I´m so grateful to Rob for all his work on behalf of the poorest people on the planet. When I worked at International Needs Rob applied for and managed our NZ Aid projects. He really did make a huge difference in the lives of so many people setting up access to water for villages , to work skills and education
It was a privilege working with Rob.
