Volunteer Spotlight: Emily Thompson

AAngella KawalaDecember 20, 20243 min read

At Virtuous Heart Foundation, we are blessed to work with incredible volunteers from around the world. Today, we're excited to introduce you to Emily Thompson, a dedicated volunteer who has made an extraordinary impact on our education programs.

Emily's Journey

Emily first learned about our work through a friend who had volunteered with us previously. A recently graduated teacher from the United States, she was looking for a meaningful way to use her skills while experiencing a new culture. "I wanted to do something that mattered," Emily explains. "When I read about Virtuous Heart Foundation's mission, I knew this was where I needed to be."

Making a Difference

Over the past six months, Emily has:

  • Taught English and mathematics to over 100 students
  • Developed new teaching materials and lesson plans
  • Trained local teachers in interactive teaching methods
  • Organized after-school tutoring sessions for struggling students

A Lasting Impact

"The children here have taught me so much more than I could ever teach them," Emily reflects. "Their resilience, their joy, their eagerness to learn – it's truly inspiring. I came here to make a difference, but they've changed my life forever."

Emily's dedication exemplifies the spirit of service that drives our volunteer program. If you're interested in volunteering with us, we'd love to hear from you.
