"Family".
. . . Visitors and students alike say they "feel like family" at
Christel House. Creating a strong sense of belonging is an important component
of our model, and that includes warmly welcoming guests from around the globe.
In addition to experiencing the "Christel House magic" firsthand at
our schools, visitors are also offered the opportunity to travel into the
communities where our students live. Nothing can more clearly depict challenges
that must be overcome than standing in our children's homes, talking to their
parents or siblings.
Next year, Christel House supporters
will be able to join us for visits to our schools. We also encourage anyone who
is visiting a country with a Christel House (India, Mexico, South Africa and
the U.S.) to spend part of a day with us. You will not soon forget your tour of
the school and community, or your interaction with the kids and families.
"When you
visit a Christel House, it is then that you see the extraordinary effort the
students must make to escape the poverty and despair into which they were
born," said Don Knebel, Christel House International Board Member.
"You see that Christel House really does work transformational magic in
the lives of its students. Jen and I have visited Christel House schools around
the world and have experienced that magic first hand. We hope you can have the
same experience."

We
are organizing visits to Mexico in March, South Africa in May and India in
