Carol Parker

Senior Advisor for Community Concerns Uganda (CCUg)

Carol started as a volunteer in June 2014, when she visited Uganda with her daughters during an internship through our partnership with Nourish International. Since then, she and her family have remained actively involved in providing financial and advisory support of all CCUg programs, including personal sponsorship of children enrolled in our child sponsorship program.

 

As US Benefits Communication Manager with Schlumberger, Carol is responsible for all aspects of strategic planning, design, drafting, production and delivery of multimedia benefit information and materials to a wide mix of audiences, including employees at all levels of the organization, potential recruits, retirees and other former employees.  She also has broad experience in communications planning, design, branding, and media, in addition to human resource management and fundraising.

 

Carol holds a BS degree in Psychology (English Minor) from the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA.  She speaks French and some Italian.

Personal Statement

I strongly encourage anyone with a passion for working with a community-based organization in equatorial Africa to consider an internship or volunteer experience with CCUg. CCUg gives you the ability to directly impact the lives of individual women and children in ways you cannot imagine until you’ve been there and done it.  I wouldn’t trade my hands-on volunteer experience for anything, and am proud to be personally involved in fundraising activities to support CCUg programs through the auspices of the Solebury United Methodist Church.
