Anna Corrigan

My name is Anna Corrigan and I reside in the West of Ireland. Ever since I was a small child I had an interest in mission. I had an innate curiosity about people living in different countries and cultures. This was only magnified by attending holiday bible clubs. As a result I got to listen about stories of missionaries and the places that they worked in.
Part of my childhood and early adolescents involved travelling to different countries and living abroad. This opportunity opened my eyes to the world and expanded my horizons.
Similarly as an adult I have travelled overseas on short term missions including Liberia. Where the kindness, warmth and love, that was shown to me despite the poverty and lack of resources deeply touched me. Furthermore the Liberian people showed me such kind generosity.
I graduated from Sligo Institute of Technology with a BSc (hons) in Social Care. Qualified as a Social Care Practitioner I have been working in the Social Care Sector for 9 years. I love people and always feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment in doing something that is helpful and useful and as a result will ultimately enhance the quality of life for others. Currently I am studying a Master’s in Counselling and Pastoral Care. I hope that these skills will also contribute to the work in Liberia. Finally serving as a Board Member on The Koinonia Trust gives me great delight.
