This past Monday was National Hero Day in the Philippines and while many people were giving recongition to many known heroes, I paid tribute on my social media to one Filipina who has really changed my life and redirected my business -- Cecilia Flores-Oebanda. She's the CEO of the Voice of the Free, the anti-human trafficking organization that created the Center of Hope.
Another local heroine of mine is that of Sister Wennie, one of the nuns that runs Holy Family Home, the second residence of the girls in my Lil' Sistas Project.
Both women have exceptionally big hearts and have dedicated their lives to helping the little underprivileged girls whom I now coach and now refer to as my Lil' Sistas. And while it's nice that people offer me encouragement and commend me on my Lil' Sistas Project, what I do is nothing compared to what these two particular ladies have done and continue to do for these girls and for so many others.
