Meet Lizzy
Lizzy is in her final year as a law student at the LSE. She is currently (at the time of this post) our managing director and this is her third year as an active member of LSESU Enactus. She co-founded and led the Creative Cycle social project in 2013/14, and has participated in numerous regional/national competitions. Here's her story...
Enactus has been one of the most inspiring and meaningful things I have done during my time at university, and I am so thankful that my brother introduced me to such an amazing organisation.
Enactus isn't just another charity- volunteer-like organisation, it actually does things which significantly improve other peoples' lives. It also helps you as a member where I have learnt many different types of skills and meet many different types of people with Enactus.
Without Enactus I would not have realised how much I can do for other people through setting up my own project and seeing it actually succeed. The proudest moments are definitely the ones where you feel that you have positively impacted the lives of others in a lasting way which simple monetary donations or otherwise cannot achieve.
As Enactus' favourite quote likes to say 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.' This quote truly represents what I think my Enactus journey has been like these past 3 years, and I hope it continue to do so for others in years to come.
