MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE
2017/18
ANNUAL
REPORT
Walking on the moon? Eliminating smallpox? Bringing sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf? Once thought impossible, these today are realities. When Christel House began almost 20 years ago, breaking the cycle of poverty seemed a distant goal. Today it is happening with regularity. Christel House graduates have 21st Century skills and are sought - after employees working for multinational companies. They are leaders, achievers and role models. They are taking the values and knowledge gained at Christel House, applying those in all aspects of their lives and becoming self-sufďŹ cient, productive citizens. It is immensely gratifying to see all the years of hard work now bearing fruit. And, this is just the beginning. Christel House graduates are honorable human beings. As they become parents, mature in their professions, take active roles in their countries and communities, the real impact of Christel House will become clear. Transformation has occurred; generation after generation will beneďŹ t; communities and societies will advance. Thank you for being part of this transformative journey. Your support is helping to build a better world and make the impossible possible.
MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE
With two learning centers in India, one in South Africa, one in Mexico and four in the United States, our global results prove that the Christel House model WORKS.

MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE What does it mean to “make the impossible possible” for impoverished children? At Christel House India the employability of graduates is certainly one way. It's a measure by which we have demonstrated unparalleled success. Our students are sought-after employees of multi-national companies. They have 21st century skills. They are also fine, caring and honourable young men and women who feel empowered to make a difference in the lives of others, especially those less fortunate. Dr. Shaikh Reshma, a 2012 graduate of Christel House India, personifies that success. After graduation, Reshma went on to complete her Medical Degree at Belagavi Institute of Medical Science, Belgaum, and has become Christel House India's first Doctor. It's an amazing accomplishment. You'll find her full story on page 13 of this report. But, what stands out even more than Reshma's vocational achievement is her outspoken generosity, acute sense of gratitude, and her innate desire to serve mankind. Reshma will undoubtedly be a flag-bearer of Christel House values. Christel House India has seen significant growth over the last year. Our school in Naya Raipur, Chhattisgarh shifted to its new facility and now serves 350 children through Grade 4. Our Bangalore school just graduated its eighth class, with a fifth batch now graduating from colleges & universities. More Christel House students than ever are entering the workforce, and their collective impact makes us proud. Their success is proof – Christel House is breaking the cycle of poverty! As we celebrate our 18th year of making the impossible possible, we extend sincere gratitude to our supporters and well-wishers. Thank you for helping make success stories like Reshma's possible. Sincerely
Christel House India

SUCCESSFUL GRADS SUPPORT FAMILIES BACK HOME They grew up in some of the poorest neighborhoods in Bangalore. Now ďŹ ve Christel House India graduates are creating successful careers in Dubai, one of the world's most modern cities. Working for Transguard Group, the graduates turned internships and apprentice-ships into permanent jobs, often in management positions. But they have not forgotten their roots. Each sends a portion of his monthly salary home to support family in India. "To support my family was always one of my priorities," says Goutham Ganesh.

A NOTE ABOUT LAVASA:
Christel House and Lavasa Corporation agreed that responsibility for running the school would be returned to Lavasa Corporation, effective with the 2017-18 academic year. Lavasa admits fee-paying students in grades K-8, but impoverished children from the surrounding villages will continue to receive free education.

SUCCESS
IN THE MAKING “Christel House India was never just about an academic education. It was a wholesome environment in which we were brought up. That, for me, is irreplaceable. Every single part of Christel House has impacted who I am today. Because of Christel House I know I can survive and succeed. Without Christel House I would be struggling in a low-paying job. I probably would have dropped out of school at a very early age. I would not have the education, knowledge and way of thinking I have learned at Christel House. I am the oldest of three siblings raised by a single mother. My earliest memories are of mother leaving for work when I was waking up and coming home late at night after we were asleep. She made every effort to educate us, both academically and morally. She sacrificed so much to give us the education she was denied. Life was tough. Some days we survived on a single meal, which might be leftover food from my mother's workplace. I wanted to become an earning member for the family; I had the fire, capability and passion to study. But the opportunity to achieve this dream was not there – until I enrolled at Christel House. I learned independence early. Before leaving for Christel House in the morning, I would do the house work and get my siblings ready for school. When we returned in the evening, I would cook dinner and wait for my mother to come home. Our entire family shared a single mattress. We slept, ate, studied and got dressed in the same room. Through it all, my mother remained my biggest strength and support. Her determination pushed me to stay focused on my education and dreams. After graduating from Christel House India, I pursued a Bachelor of Architecture degree. A year-long internship at the firm of Shilp Shrungar turned into a job as a Junior Architect. When they hired me, they cited my strong character – an eagerness to learn, honesty, responsibility and commitment to work. Christel House taught me all of these values from a very young age, and I am so grateful. Christel House India has given me the opportunity to create a good life for myself and my family.”

IN THE MAKING “From childhood I had a dream that one day I would be a doctor, serving those in need. I was told it would be very difficult. but I wanted to take on the challenge. Today, I have achieved my dream. Growing up, my father worked as a driver and my mother looked after our home and my four siblings. My family struggled to make ends meet. When I joined Christel House, I was shy and reserved. I lacked self-confidence. Christel House helped me come out of my shell and believe that I could achieve and succeed. I graduated from Christel House India in 2012. With the support of the Christel House College & Careers program, I pursued the education needed to become a doctor. The school provided me with a scholarship throughout my undergraduate education.

I am now working as an Intern at the district Belagavi Hospital in Belgaum, Karnataka. Following this residency, I will complete one year of rural service. While completing my internship I am also planning to prepare for the Postgraduate NEET (National Eligibility and Entrance Test) examinations that are required for me to pursue a specialization in either Radiology or Pediatrics. I owe my MBBS degree to Christel House India and I will be forever grateful to them. Christel House is a place where you receive help, support, care, love and encouragement. It is where everyone works for the benefit of others.”

"Character education is central to our daily routines for students and staff," says Carey Dahncke, Head of Schools. It's evident in classrooms as teachers integrate building character and instilling values into their daily lesson plans. The "CHOW" rubric — Character and Habits of Work — helps educators objectively assess the effectiveness of character education. "Character is just as important as academics for us," says Dahncke. "It helps establish a positive culture that supports learning."
