Angela has devoted her life to being a voice for
suffering children and travels the world on humanitarian
missions. She has walked over land mines,
been shot at, held babies orphaned by AIDS, met
children soldiers, walked into prisons, brothels, and
sweat shops where children are abused and exploited.
She is an award winning speaker. Through her compelling
presentations sprinkled with stories, humor
and possibilties, Angela motivates audiences to
make a difference in the world.
Angela was an actress in her native Great Britain
before moving to San Francisco where she became
a highly successful Executive Recruiter. Her life
changed in an instant in 1990, when she was watching
a segment on 20/20 that exposed the horrific
conditions in Romanian orphanages. Angela told
her husband, “I’ve got to go to Romania to save the
children; where’s the atlas?” She had a sense of
calling.
Since then, she has poured herself into helping children
world over and joined World Vision in 1993.
Over the years, Angela has convinced TV news
crews to join her on many trips abroad to make documentaries,
bringing attention to injustices such as
the genocide in Rwanda, which won her the covveted
Edward R. Murrow Award and many others.
