Shepherd’s Arms Children’s Home Phillipines
Angela has a passion for volunteering in third-world countries and has been supporting community projects and individual children in the Philippines for over 10 years. She has returned to a particular children’s home often, staying for weeks at a time to help and support the children and to do additional hands-on work to improve the children’s standard of living. So far Angela has sponsored Harley through an IT degree which has allowed him to get a career and bring his family out of poverty, and current is supporting Marilyn through a teaching degree which is almost completed. “I would prefer to spend my time and money on improving the lives of these children, rather than staying in expensive accommodation and sitting beside a pool. Helping the children give me great satisfaction”. Angela sees this project as a lifelong interest.
