We’ve had some great news to start off 2023! Children Change Colombia is proud to announce that our Trustee, Felipe Alviar-Baquero, has won an MBE award (Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) for his outstanding achievement of service to CCC as a volunteer, fundraiser and then becoming a Trustee, spanning 24 years!

Our Fundraising and Communications Coordinator Becky interviewed Felipe on what being a Trustee means to him and why he chose to become part of our organisation.
