Devoir de Contrôle 1 Anglais 3ème Lettres

Liam spent the first part of his career working as a fundraiser for a national charity. He then took some time away from the sector to follow his entrepreneurial spirit. When he sold his successful care home business just 10 years later, he used the proceeds to return to his philanthropic roots. His first move was a little uncommon : “I knew it was time to reconnect in a qualitative way with the voluntary sector” Liam tells us “and I was privileged enough to do this through my own experience as a Secret Millionaire, for the Channel 4 show.”

Secret Millionaire immersed Liam in the world of homelessness and poverty and let him be able to interact with charities on the ground and see first hand the impact his support had on their beneficiaries. Living undercover as a homeless person not only brought Liam face to face with the horror that the vagrant live through each day, but also brought home the positive implications that he and others can have on their situation. This experience will stay with him forever, says Liam : “Philanthropy can be life changing for the recipient, and also the donor.”
