Cecill Artates - "Sherpa" at Hands On Manila

April 8, 2008

 

Cecill Artates joined Hands On Manila five years ago, realizing the need for a change in lifestyle.  Needless to say, her involvement changed her life and outlook in life. 

Cecill volunteers at Pangarap Shelter, and handles the Scoring Points program for Hands On Manila.  In 2005, she was awarded the Outstanding Volunteer Award for her selfless involvement in changing the lives of young men through education and personal development. 

In this interview, she explains HOM’s “sherpa” and why they use the term to refer to volunteer leaders.  Cecill talks about her most memorable childhood moments and why it is important for parents to teach their children about the values of volunteering and being socially involved.

Read on and learn more how Cecill finds time between her work as a web content writer and volunteerism.
