Back in 2013 I spent some time in Cambodia on a mission trip where I volunteered at an orphanage and also helped out with a ministry called women at risk. When I returned home I had a burning desire to do more than settle back into my comfortable life and forget what I had seen or bury my head in the sand about the need around the world.

It can feel overwhelming with where to begin so when I had the opportunity to take part in a trip to Romania with Tish a couple of years ago to see what Heart Response does, I knew I wanted to catch the vision for this charity and see how I could help on a practical level. Tish's passion for what she does is infectious, and seeing the workers in Romania give so tireless to their ministries is an inspiration, so I am honoured to be a small cog in helping fundraise towards their work.
