Islands Society Announces Southeast Asian Islands Female Leader
Filipino Female Doctor Recognized for work with Malnourished Children in the Philippines.
Charleston, SC, April 30, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The Islands Society is pleased to announce that Dr. Cristie B. Deyro has been selected as the latest “Southeast Asian Islands Female Leader.”
Born and raised in the Philippines, Dr. Deyro has been recognized worldwide for her volunteer medical work in the Philippines.
Currently, Dr. Deyro is the representative for the Bacolod (Philippines) area for the Liahona Children’s Foundation (LCF). Her work solving childhood malnourishment has taken her throughout the world as an advocate for children’s health.
Dr. Deyro joins a growing network of Local Female Leaders leading positive change in island communities. The Islands Society believes that local female leaders in Southeast Asia should be given a global platform to share their insights on how the health and well-being of girls and women can be improved in island communities around the world.
Through the Southeast Asian Female Leaders Program, the Islands Society recognizes a local female leader from Southeast Asia each quarter. That individual then is given an opportunity to share her insights on how the health and well-being of girls and women can be improved in island communities based on her own life experiences.
Dr. Deyro continues to be an influential member of the community today as she has the opportunity to work with young women throughout the country. She is continually encouraging them to get a higher education by “pursuing an education that will harness your personal interests and talents.”
