“It feels good working at St Jude’s and being a part of a hard-working community-fighting poverty through education, having such an amazing and cooperative team around who are always there and ready to help to me. However, working on tighter deadlines is my biggest challenge which has given me a chance to grow and improve my speed,” Hermenegild, Graphic Designer, shared.
