Leonora "Norie" Garcia - Executive Director of Hands On Manila

April 1, 2008

 


Norie Garcia, executive director of Hands On Manila, holds more than a decade of rural and social development experience, working in remote regions in China and three South Pacific island nations.   


Norie poses as a strong voice and staunch advocate of the marginalized rural sector, having realized the under-representation of rural communities in the country. 

In this interview, she talks about her sad bid of goodbye to colleagues in China during the onset of SARS, and her experiences as a development worker in the island nation of Vanuatu.

Find out why she chose to serve the community rather than pursue a financially rewarding career, conveying a message of finding purpose and dedicating one’s self to this life-long objective.
