A French woman’s journey to the Philippines(1)

Julie Saurat quickly fell in love with the Philippines as soon as she began work as a sponsorship officer for Virlanie Foundation, an NGO that takes care of abused and neglected children .

For over a year, she served as a bridge between the children and their sponsors from France, Belgium, and Switzerland to ensure a life-long relationship between them.

“Whenever I see kids from the foundation, I would feel very hopeful,” Julie said.
