One year ago today, the world changed for 683 children in South Africa. The doors opened to the new Christel House South Africa. While the entity has existed since 2002, the new campus meant students would excel together, in a vibrant learning community. The students celebrated this morning and shared the photo above.

Even more exciting than the building itself is the commitment to education taking place inside. Since opening, not one single student or teacher has missed one day of instruction. Quite phenomenal when you consider the physical, emotional and other distractions that come from living or treating extreme poverty.

Happy Birthday CHSA - keep up the fantastic work!
