A care home has teamed up with a staffing agency to support a charity school in the Philippines.
Dove Court care home in Wisbech, part of the Larchwood Care group, has joined forces with Nurseplus staffing agency to support the Little Angels and Scholars charity school in the Philippines.
This initiative aims to provide educational resources to children in need.
The charity school, serving children in Tabang, Plaridel, and Bulacan, is a missionary learning centre founded to offer free education to the poorest children in the area.
A 'significant' connection between the school and the UK lies in the dedication of Noel F. Cruz, an experienced Nurseplus employee who spends half his year in the Philippines, where he serves as the president of the school.
Staff, residents, and families at Dove Court care home have 'embraced' the opportunity to contribute to this cause.
They have been filling shoeboxes with essential items such as pencils, erasers, notebooks, exercise books, paper, colouring pens, crayons, and both new and gently used pre-school reading books for children aged three to seven years.
Nicole Thompson, manager at Dove Court, said: "We’re delighted to support such a meaningful project.
"It’s heartwarming to see our residents, families, and staff coming together to make a difference for children thousands of miles away.
"Education is a powerful tool, and we’re proud to contribute to giving these children the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed."
Noel F. Cruz, president of the school, sent Dove Court a message saying: "Thank you so much for your kind support and generosity to our humble Little Angels and Scholars charity school in the Philippines."
