Be all that you can be.

 

This lofty goal is not so easy to achieve for disabled children in Thailand, but that’s changing with the work of the nonprofit, Christian Care Foundation for Children with Disabilities in Thailand (CCD). Several members of Christ Church have seen this work firsthand or have served on its board, and there are annual opportunities to volunteer in person.

 

The Outreach Commission supports this life-affirming work by contributing to the salary of a therapist whose skills give youngsters better use of their limbs, improve their mobility or help them meet their own personal needs and aspirations to enter the mainstream. Individual church members also help support a residential home for up to 40 children, an independent living home for 14 young-adult males, four day-care centers and community-based rehab projects in three provinces.
