Juliet Phillips is the latest recruit to join CCF-UK as a Trustee. Not only is she a whizz at figures (she heads a finance department of eight) she has legal training, appears ten years younger than she actually is - and brings pragmatism and diplomacy to her role with CCF.
Juliet studied law and accountancy
and now works in Finance in the Insurance Industry. During the summer of 2011, she was lucky enough to have the opportunity to take a two month sabbatical
and decided to travel to countries that she had not previously visited.
Of all the countries she explored during that time, the one that really
captured her heart was Cambodia. She was very moved by the history of the
country and the daily struggle faced by the people who live there as they
strive to overcome the after effects of many years of civil war. Most
notable were the children, who were engaging, curious and playful, despite the
fact that they lacked the essentials to live, let alone the material
possessions that children in the Western World often take for granted. A
chance meeting in London when she returned, led her to the
Cambodian Children's Fund and she became a trustee in early 2012.
