Meet Jofer, the woman behind our Admin and Finance, our accountant and strong support. Despite her accounting background, her heart for the community development overflows. She has organized efforts to assist a small barangay of indigenous people's group in Bubusawin and spends her weekend teaching children and visiting families in that community, organizing them to become more productive and resilient.
