Greetings friends, supports, one and all!
We hope everyone is safe and well and this find you returning to a life of normalcy. On behalf of Rich, Lewis, Carola, and myelf we are very grateful for yoru well wishes and support. The past two years slowed us down a little in that our students had their school years extended due to shutdowns and remote learning, but we are now back to a somewhat normal schedule.
CCi continues to be a small but effective program for our friends and former allies, the Montagnard people. Since Tommy Daniels began CCi in 2003 we have steadily educated and graduated poor but capable Montagnard youth from high school and college programs, who have then returned to their communities and true to their pledge, began working in benefit of their people.
Much of the success and effectiveness of our graduates is due to our careful selection process. Our in-country manger, Maren, who has been with us for fifteen years, does a through job of vetting every candidate who applies for a scholarship, including visiting thier home and interviewing the parents as well, ensuring the family is also suportive of thier goals. Consequently, we now have graduates we are provincial government, district offices, community committees, health departments andin education. Others, employed by Western NGO's have made them much more effective with their knowledge of local language and culture. In borrowing a Special Foreces tacti, we have bene producing "Force Multiplies". Those force multiplies have enabled us to become effective in making a difference for a steadily growing portion of the Montagnard population who would otherwise be neglected by their government and taken advantage of by unscrupulous individuals. We are continuously 'giving back' through education, enabling Montagnard to help themselves to have an equal participation in their own future.
Again, we thank you for your generous support, but most of all your students thank you for enabling them to help their people in an effective and meaningful way.
