I am a mother of 5 and I love children. I get to experience and learn so many things as I care for the children because they teach me. My work is very eventful!

She cares so much that she pays close attention and remembers the likes and dislikes of the children.
DC Social Worker: Marggy
I have been a volunteer at the Dream Centre since it started in 2011 and started working in April 2021 as the DC Social Worker. The story of the kids always intrigued me as I can identify first-hand with being vulnerable and not having your biological parents care for you. I had always desired to work with children who had been abandoned. I love it when I get to place children into loving homes where they can grow up - loved.
