Friends and supporters,

We would like to ask for your support for Charmaine, one of the dedicated volunteers behind our recent House of Musa Wellington Fashion Show last November.

Charmaine generously contributed her time, talent, and creativity in designing posters, certificates, and other promotional materials that helped make our event a success. Her passion for the arts and commitment to serving the community deserve recognition.

She has been selected to receive an award at the Philippine Independence Day Celebration in Auckland on June 6, and public votes form part of the selection process.

If you have a moment, please consider voting for Charmaine through the link below:
