International Volunteers Day

Where would we be without our amazing volunteers? Volunteers create a bridge between our Sisters of Mary education programmes and their communities. They give their time, skills, and love to helping children around the world have a better life. By spreading the word about our work and generating interest in World Villages for Children, volunteers help us raise more funds to help more children every day.

Today we recognise and thank our amazing community volunteers in the UK who have added so much value to our children’s lives. When they make themselves available and give their time, they add such quality and heart to our work.

A big thank you to every volunteer!

We are especially grateful to our wonderful volunteers, who connect our work with their home communities. Thank you Geoffrey, Enrique, Brenda, Mandy, Sheila, and many more for your hard work and sacrifice! And a huge thank you to Lizzie for her time supporting in the UK office, her support is invaluable over the busy Christmas period!

We have had a few groups volunteer to share their skills directly with the children this year. So a massive thank you to the team from HSBC London, the Philippine Cricket Association, and the Bagshot Cricket Club for sharing skills, donating equipment, and time with our girls in Biga Girlstown, Philippines.
