In 2019, CRO continued to strengthen its programs and activities. Notably, our community outreach program has continued grow especially the SHG approach.

We cannot thank you enough for being part of our cause – Rebuilding the lives of children on the streets; for the year 2017 and just as John Holmes says, “There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up”
