Emmanuel Musoni is the Chair of Great Lakes Agency for Peace and Development International (GLAPD). Emmanuel was born in a refugee camp and raised there until he was 16 years old.  He has been strongly committed, and passionate about, advocating for better settlement and integration of refugees and migrants from an Africa background into Australian community.  Through his work at GLAPD Emmanuel has worked to resettle families from a refugee background formerly living in cities to Mingoola, a small country town in regional NSW.  Together with Julia Harpham of the Mingoola Progress Association, Emmanuel organised the filming of the Mingoola resettlement program which produced an episode of Australian Story 'A Field of Dreams.'
