Damai is currently engaged as a Pathy Foundation Fellow, working with his community in Indonesia to foster local leadership in tourism by strengthening community-building initiatives. He graduated at the top of his program with a BAH in Global Development and History from Queen’s University. His academic oeuvre includes two undergraduate theses, several articles, and numerous conference presentations.

Damai’s primary area of research centers around Indigenous land rights in Indonesia, reflecting his deep concern for his community’s wellbeing. Following his Fellowship, he plans to pursue a BCL/JD at McGill University with hopes to specialise in inter-jurisdictional property law impacting Indigenous communities.
