My dream is to have an education

Let’s communicate!
Last July 2-5, our two friends Michelle Baena Ciriacruz and Icia de Guzman joined delegates from various ATD teams to share best practices and do some communications training in Pierrelaye, France. They brought home important tools and insights that we can use in our awareness and fundraising campaigns here in the Philippines.
