Thank you Frank!

Money for Madagascar (MfM) would like to say a huge thank you and goodbye to our volunteer Francis (Frank) Philips who has left to start a new adventure in Australia. Frank has been involved with volunteering at the MfM office in Lancaster since 2016. He has been assisting with various tasks, which aid some of the neediest and poorest people in Madagascar.

Frank started working with MfM when he rented a room in the same building as our office, which meant he could easily head downstairs to lend a hand! Frank primarily worked on our social media pages updating Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and our blog pages allowing us to share the stories of our beneficiaries and supporters locally, nationally and on a worldwide scale.

Frank also aided us with key administrate tasks including filing, scanning, database work, and other crucial tasks which help the charity continue providing support to vital projects such as providing education to children most in need, protecting Madagascar’s beautiful and unique environment and helping to provide food, water and shelter to those facing hardship.

This is why volunteers are so important to MfM - volunteers contribute to office work, research tasks, fundraising activities and many other tasks that help MfM support the Malagasy people.

Would YOU like to offer your skills and time to improve the lives and prospects of people in Madagascar, whilst helping to protect their unique environment?

If the answer is yes, then we would love to hear from you! Whatever your skills, if you have interest and enthusiasm, your time can be put to good use!

Volunteering for MfM will give you the opportunity to gain experience and new skills, whilst providing you with the knowledge that your work is really making a difference to people’s lives. Whether you want to work occasionally, from the comfort of your own home or to join our team in the Lancaster office as an intern, we can find a role that will suit your interests and availability!

Frank said of his time volunteering, “Volunteering for Money for Madagascar in their office was very rewarding and enabled me to develop a number of skills which will aid me in the future. It was also fascinating to learn more about the wonderful nation of Madagascar and the people who live there.”

Franks enthusiasm to help those in Madagascar was inspiring and his generous support which will greatly benefit the Malagasy people. He will be greatly missed by all of us here at MfM. We wish him all the best for his new adventure!

Thanks Frank!
