What exaclty is CH Global?
Christian Horizons (CH) is an non-profit organization that serves individuals with exceptional needs around the world. You may be wondering what an “exceptional need” is…in this case exceptional needs range from developmental disabilites to high risk situations.
For example:
-
an orphan of any age
-
anyone facing extreme poverty or suffering
These groups are in high risk situations. Imagine living in any of these conditions…and then imagine living in the same situation with a disability or execptional need!
In many developing countries people with exceptional needs are often marginalized further when they have a disabilty. Blindness for example is an exceptional need in North America where most people have access to assistance. Many people living in developing countries are not as fortunate, and may never receive access to the information and care they need to develop and maintain a lifestlye that allows them equal opportunities and a chance to contribute back to the society in which they live.
CH Global recognizes the needs of exceptional people all around the world. That is why the Ontario based organization has extended its borders in order to embrace programs in Canada and many countries including Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Russia, Sri Lanka, India, Canadian First Nations, and the United States. Their global programs are again, non-profit, but based soly on donations from supporters of all ages.
You are never too young or too old to change a life and build a community.
What is the purpose of this Blog?
The internet is a powerful tool that can be used in many ways. We’ve all seen the good (and the not so good). The purpose of this blog is to connect YOU to many stories from the countries in which we serve. My personal wish is that these stories of hope, courage, and transformation will encourage you to be part of this global community that serves the individual with exceptional needs and those in high risk situations. The goal is to not only inform you, but to also inspire you – and of course include you in the work and efforts of CH Global.
The articles in this blog will be written by a number of parties. In the near future you will hear from CH staff, youth volunteers, and young people who are involved or part of our global programs stretching across oceans.
I think this looks like a pretty good spot to meet…
What is a global volunteer?
We are looking for young people (whatever you define as young is young). Again, you’re never too young or old to start making change in our world. Sometimes we just need a place to get started. As we are local to Ontario Canada there are numerous ways to help at a local level that will make a global impact.
We want your skills, your energy, dedication, commitment and most of all – passion to serve others.
Global volunteers can get involved in almost any area. Tell us your talents and skills (don’t be shy) and we can find a place for you!
