Aamir joined the professional staff of AMIGOS in 2005 as the Regional Director of South America and Honduras. His experience with the organization first began in 2002 when he served as a Volunteer in Intibucá, Honduras. He continued to stay involved with AMIGOS as a Project Supervisor in León, Nicaragua in 2003 and again in 2004 as an Associate Project Director in Intibucá, Honduras. Along the way, Aamir assisted in East Bay Chapter activities and on-campus recruiting at UC Berkeley.

Aamir was born and raised in San Jose, California. Before moving to Houston, he graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a B.A. in Development Studies and a minor in Public Policy. He focused his studies on the Latin America region and Development Economics. In his final year at Berkeley, he had the opportunity to revisit Honduras to study health promotion activities in several AMIGOS communities as a part of his senior thesis.

AMIGOS Voices

“Both our children left Houston as fun-loving, typical teenagers and returned from their AMIGOS experience with new-found confidence and maturity and a real sense of what life is like beyond our community.”

–Leslie Miller, Parent of two Volunteers
