After 41 years travelling the world in the aviation business as a licensed aircraft technician, Duncan seized the opportunity in 2018 to pursue his real passion for nature. He had already been volunteering at the Luxembourg Wildlife Rescue centre for 3 years; moving from full time work in aviation meant he had more time to focus on the increasing numbers of sick and injured animals and birds received for care. To explore and remediate further the demise of our wildlife he took a 5-year BA Honours degree in Environmental Studies, receiving a first. In the same period, he received a diploma distinction from Oxford University Business School in Corporate Sustainability Leadership and also gained a distinction diploma for wildlife rescue and rehabilitation from the UK. He feels privileged to have been given a seat on the Board of Directors at the rescue centre in Dudelange, giving him the chance to share his recent ecological education in the current biodiversity loss crisis and more so creating awareness whenever he can. 

Bastian Ruf is a 24-year-old inclusion advocate from Germany,

During a year spent volunteering in a children's home for children with intellectual disabilities, he realized how many obstacles they face in their everyday lives. He firmly believes that inclusion is not an act of charity, but that everyone has a right to equal opportunities. He has made it his mission to raise awareness of the exclusion of people with disabilities and to inspire people to take action and create a more inclusive world.

While volunteering for the Special Olympics movement, he saw the inclusive potential of sport, and it convinced him that a physical or mental disability is not a handicap in itself, but that everything depends on the more or less adapted environment.

Following his studies in development cooperation, he joined Humanity & Inclusion in 2024 to raise awareness of inclusion and equality issues in Luxembourg. He admires the work of the international aid organization alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflicts and disasters and wants to do his part to advocate for the satisfaction of their basic needs, the improvement of their living conditions and the promotion of respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.
