Our Plans . . .

CCCRFund’s original goals were simple. Working with our Georgian and American friends, we thought that we could make modest improvements in the lives of some of the poorest of Georgia’s neglected children. Food, medicine, heat – that was about all we thought we could accomplish. That was in late 2002 when we began our odyssey.

In 2003 we wired $5,000 to our field reps in Georgia to pay for those kinds of things. In addition to that, the US military in Georgia noticed us and, like GIs since the Revolutionary War, they gladly gave of their time, money and friendship to “our” children. 2003 also saw us arrange for eye exams and glasses for the Dzegvi kids and spinal and brain exams as well. Things really began to happen, things that we could not have anticipated. Please read on . . .

Telavi

"In January of 2004, a story written by Seth Mydans about conditions at the Telavi Children’s Home appeared in the NY Times. That poignant article brought about a number of inquiries both to the US embassy in Tbilisi and to the Times. We are known at the embassy and we were asked if we would coordinate all of the inquiries and offers of donations. Yes, of course we would. That resulted in CCRFund adopting the Telavi home as our second project. more . . . "
