2017 Year End Stats
This is not a warm and fuzzy edition, but it is important. Attached you will find the statistical breakdown of the results of our efforts in 2017, which you supported. This material is impressive. We are honouring our pledge to you. The full impact of our efforts will not be felt for a few years yet when our guys are more mature and fully take their place, at your side, as established and productive citizens of our community. We are in this for the long term, and so are “our guys”. We don’t feed them – we teach them how to prepare a meal. We don’t provide a place to sleep for a night – we teach them how to create a home.
