The Philippines and its beautiful people are very close to YKATW's heart, it was during a trip to this fantastic country that Wendy was inspired to start the charity.  It didn't happen overnight, a lot of hard work and several years later; having raised thousands of pounds for organisations around the world, we never forget where it all began.

Partnering with local charities, on the ground, like the Philippine Outreach Centre Ministries (POCM), we continue to support children growing up in this amazing country.

You can find out more about POCM by visiting their own website - but here is a brief extract as a way of an introduction:

"Philippine Outreach Centre Ministries is composed of four Ministries, the Children's Home, the Prison Ministry, the School and the Churches. And was founded by a woman from England, Christine Hailes Perillo, but everybody calls her 'Chrissy'. 

While listening to a visiting missionary speak about her work in the Philippines, Chrissy felt God call her to the Philippines to show the love of God to the Filipino people. Just four months later, in September 1983 with no training or preparation  she headed to the Philippines to work in a small mission for 10 months.

Upon her arrival in the Philippines she was invited to speak in churches and the local jails. Being young, British and able to strum the guitar made it easy to attract crowds of people in the streets to listen.  Before long, the love for  the Filipino people gripped her heart, and God gave her a vision for an Outreach Centre".
