Voice of Grace Australia VOGA is a tax-deductible charity providing finance & resources for education projects that help bring urban poor youth in the Philippines out of poverty.

We partner with Bright Lights Learning Center in Manila. In 2004, Rick & Maria Bell, and Rev. Noel & Reylita Erese (Filipino nationals), formed Voice of Grace Compassion Ministries, Inc, a Filipino registered not-for-profit organisation in order to address the educational needs of Filipino youth in poverty. The work of VOGCM quickly grew, with the formation of the Bright Lights Learning Center giving youth in poverty a chance at education. Although the school began with 5 students, the student numbers in the 2017/2018 school year were over 150 in the various programs from ‘Catch-up’ education through to University. VOGCM has also developed Threads of Hope (a livelihood projects for ladies of the San Buena compound) and has a Care Centre (accommodation and foster parents provided for children at risk so that they have a safe place to stay while attending one of the Bright Lights Learning Center programs). Voice of Grace Australia was formed in February 2017 by a number of friends of Rick & Maria Bell. This was done in order to take on the task of managing Sponsorship for Bright Lights Learning Center in Manila, Philippines so that this vital work continues to impact youth in poverty. The Board of Voice of Grace Australia is:
Rev. John Coman - President
Mr Andrew Cresswell - Treasurer
Mr Danny Bakker - Secretary
Mr Rick Bell - Member
Mrs Maria Bell - Member
All members of VOGA are volunteers and any travel is self-funded so that sponsorship money goes to the students and Bright Lights. We invite you to join us in sponsoring this work which has already seen many students graduate from High School and more than 40 youth who had limited education go on to graduate from College with a Filipino degree. Tax deductibility is available for donations.
