Voluteers: partners of SHEC

Finding the right persons to assist in the programs of SHEC is very difficult. But, with the advent of a group of volenteers, the work in SHEC has become more effective and prolific. In order to sustain these volunteers, at least once a month, there is the so called "prayer encounter." During this moment, their understanding about their volunteer work is clarified. Besides, through meditation and silent encounter with God, they are being energized to spend more time with the less fortunate. Today, the vounteers hold their prayer encounter in Pook ni Maria Makiling, Laguna, Philippines. At the same time, this serves as their Christmas party. This develops bonding and stronger spiritual life.
