Global Citizen Education

A nurse from Canada overcame the challenges of a flash flood, attack by fire ants, and coming down with dengue fever to work with the children in the crime-ridden slums of Davao City, Philippines.

She worked with a program designed to help the children overcome the lack of education and medical resources that lead them to drop out of school and turn to gangs and street killings. She took steps to create an abuse prevention, parenting and community health program that will better the lives of these children and continues her work back in Canada by helping to write the manual of operations for this highly needed program.
