Meet Joel, an alumni from the Sisters of Mary Schools in the Philippines. Thanks to World Villages for Children, Joel graduated with a degree in accounting. Today, he is a purchasing manager for a global consumer goods company. He shares with us about his life before and after the Sisters of Mary. Thank you to our generous donors who made this life change possible for Joel and his family – and for many more young people worldwide!
