Natasha spent her early years in London, UK and then moved to Switzerland with her family at the age of 6. She attended the International School of Geneva, where she learned French and Italian and earned an international baccalaureate degree. She returned to the UK for college and obtained her BA at the British American College of London with a major in Media Communications. After graduation, Natasha explored the fashion industry through buying and design experience and then entered the IT industry where she has been working for the past 4 years.

Lars Green

Founding Fellow

"My background includes a semi-professional football (soccer) career where I learned the value of idealism, solidarity and team work. This has followed me in my international working life and formed the basic values that I treasure.

I am also led by a burning desire of helping those who have not been as fortunate as I have been, being born and raised in one of the wealthiest countries on earth. I have therefore, regularly in the past, been seeking opportunities to translate my experience and knowledge into something sustainable for my fellow citizens in need. Having visited Africa with my family in 2004 and being further inspired by Thorgeir's enthusiastic spirit, I quickly volunteered for the Afriversity project." - Lars Green.

Lars holds an E-MBA exam from Stockholm School of Economics.
