At times, it can be difficult to try to quantify the accomplishments achieved by our residents and the dedicated staff who support them. You can count the number of births in our homes, but how do you measure the effect that each birth has on the mother, her family and friends, and all those others; the volunteers, contributors, and associates who celebrate the joy of a new life? You can count the number of Life Skill classes, but how do you measure how important it is for one new mom to learn how to parent her first child? Does it matter if one of our mom’s develops a new skill in using the Internet? It might be invaluable for her future employment in this age of rapidly changing technology. Maybe only God can truly appreciate the impact on the world of a child laughing and playing in one of our home nurseries.

In the year 2010 there were many opportunities for accomplishments of all kinds.
