I met Philippa when I was a student on an ITN course in autumn 1998. I had never taught before and the whole experience was intensive and full of new challenges. I particularly remember Philippa's calm, professional and gentle nature which reassured me throughout and encouraged me to complete the course. Philippa and Janet and the team equipped me for a profession which has taken me to many countries and enabled me to work with many wonderful people from a range of backgrounds and faiths. I know I am just one of hundreds whose lives have been changed through Philippa's work with ITN and she continues to impact the world through her investment in others. What a wonderful lady, full of love and grace - an inspiration to us all.
