I am a qualified social worker and I have been working in a Care and Protection role with Open Home Foundation (in Rotorua and Christchurch) for the last two years. \u00a0I\u2019m originally\u00a0from\u00a0Morrinsville which is a small country town in the North Island, so I\u2019m a farm girl at heart! \u00a0I\u2019ve always dreamed that one day I would be able to use my social work skills and knowledge to serve overseas and I feel deeply humbled and honoured to be given the opportunity to join Kati, Alice, Ken and other volunteers at HANNAH, Targu Mures.<\/p>\n<p>I am passionate about working with families, children and young people and I believe that God has created everyone with worth and potential. The work of HANNAH excites me because I believe it answers the call to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those who are precious to His heart. \u00a0I am hoping to come\u00a0alongside Kati and use my social work skills and\u00a0knowledge to encourage, support and bless the work of HANNAH. Living in Romania will be a new experience for me, I\u2019m\u00a0looking\u00a0forward to experiencing life in a different\u00a0cultural context and I anticipate that there will be lots of learning and growth along the way! \u00a0I\u2019d love to partner with you to pray for the children and families HANNAH touches, and I would be deeply\u00a0grateful if you were to pray for me as I prepare to embark on the journey ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Blessings, Allie<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-415\" src=\"https:\/\/hopeandnurture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Alison-M2-Aug-18-1-5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hopeandnurture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Alison-M2-Aug-18-1-5.png 240w, https:\/\/hopeandnurture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Alison-M2-Aug-18-1-5-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/hopeandnurture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Alison-M2-Aug-18-1-5-100x133.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, my name is Allison Makker and I am so excited to be volunteering with HANNAH for three months from September &#8211;
