Nomadic Hands promote peace, not only through projects that are immersed in feel-good activities such as sound relaxation and music, but it also runs projects that address the destructive aspects of the economic system. This is accomplished in two ways:
1. By promoting awareness of global issues through multi-media
2. Through education about how to re-structure the system that is generating these problems.
–
Empower – our ambition is to empower people for holistically sustainable pathways. We want to provide them with opportunities to improve their future while benfitting the global village. With partner organisations, volunteers and friends, Nomadic Hands go straight to the communities; we offer education and employment trainings through targeted speeches, workshops and internships in social entrepreneurship and artistry.
–
Enlighten – a major part of our work is raising awareness on environmental and social concerns through writing, documentaries, photography and music.
–
Encourage – we encourage ethical and cultural consciousness, and believe in a personal fulfilment approach. People who act upon their positive thoughts and ideas bring out a peaceful civilization.

WE VALUE…

We do not kill life, but nurture it;

We do not separate, but collaborate;
We do not believe that world peace is just an ideal fantasy, but an easily achievable common practice for all.

Founding Director- Simone Francis
After combining my love for travel, adventure and creativity, with helping others, I founded Nomadic Hands and began living my dream career. I have had varied experience within the community, journalism, sporting, and artistic industries, and as I am always learning and in transformation, so is the organisation. This is the work I want to continue doing for the rest of my life!
My education includes certifications in outdoor recreation, communication and media, filmmaking, business management, and Teach English as a Second language. In 2009, I received a scholarship for the School for Social Entrepreneurs, and continued on to completed certifications in Community Cultural Development and Developing Creative Enterprise. I ran as a Greens candidate for Barton in the 2009 federal elections and for Kogarah in the 2010 state elections.
By sharing my creativity, knowledge and life experiences with others, I believe I can positively influence people to live out their dreams while the global community.
