Underprivileged kids-Christina Noble's Children Foundation (CNCF)
And you'll never feel sorry for yourself again.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Christina Noble is the founder and driving force behind the Foundation. Christina's passion for children's rights is rooted in her own horrendous upbringing. Christina knows what it's like to be young, homeless and desperate. Born in Ireland into the slums of Dublin on 23 December 1944, she was to embark on a childhood of pain and betrayal. She and three siblings were raised by their mother while their father, who was once a bare knuckled fighter, frittered away what little money the family had on drinking in pubs. The death of her mother, when Christina was 10, brought about the separation of the children, as they were all sent to different orphanages. Christina spent four desperate years in the west of Ireland in an Institute being led to believe that her brothers and sisters were dead. Her escape brought her to Phoenix Park in Dublin where she slept in a hole in the ground that she herself dug.
Against all odds, Christina set up the Foundation in Ho Chi Minh City where the number of projects has grown considerably. In 1997, Christina expanded CNCF's operations into Mongolia but she still remains the principal driving force and inspiration and and retains close personal contact with the children.
