Channel 6 TV Anchorwoman Estha Trouw joins the Angels Board of Directors
Estha Trouw, who is from South Africa, finds heartfelt truth in one of her native country's proverbs... "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the nation and its destiny."

That's why she says her heart is fully invested in what founder Cathy Richman has created in Angels. "This special one-of-a-kind organization embodies the spirit of giving, love, and devotion through all the parents who devote themselves to their angels. The Angels spirit is reflected in the smiles of the children."

Angels Director Cathy Richman says, "Angels is honored to have someone like Estha Trouw on our Board. As a mother of 3, she understands the need for every child to be loved and nurtured within a family, and she has shown great passion and support for the Angels mission over the past four years."
