It’s number crunching time again for our office staff and a good time to feel C4C’s proverbial pulse. Result: 2014 has been a great year!
It takes a measure of extra motivation to coach C4C’s highly inspirational staff and volunteers through this rather dry Excel sheet and statistical time of numbers and decimals, but the results usually inspire everyone to give their best in the year to come!
So, for those of you interested in results, facts and figures and those who can stomach reading through nitty-gritty details – read on! It’s been a great year with lots of progress to report on all fronts.
1) Springboard to Life (STL), C4C’s educational initiative, preparing orphans who leave their foster environments, to integrate into society:
Highlight: According to a recent poll, 83% of orphans who participated in C4C’s Springboard to Life initiative were able to find employment or a place to further their studies, compared to only 46% of their peers who didn’t participate in any of C4C educational programs! STL works!

Even though we can’t promise any dividends in the conventional sense, we know that kindness shown to others is never lost and always brings returns. It is an investment into a better future. Like the old saying asserts: Kindness, sacrifice and charity simply can’t be given away, for they always return to the giver in values that can’t be measured in only dollars and cents!
