Transforming Lives
|
Christel House South Africa (CHSA) endeavours to break the cycle of poverty by providing a holistic learning experience for each child. We recognise that poor children come to the classroom not just without the ability to read and write, but with social problems as well, often hungry and living in dysfunctional families.
Our approach is different. Through our unique education model, we are able to nurture and develop learners into responsible and productive adults – free of the clutches of poverty.
100% of your donations go directly towards our children’s education and development. |

Ron Haylock Music Fund
Christel House lost a dear friend and supporter this spring. Ron Haylock passed away on May 8, 2013 at the age of 68. A passionate supporter of our mission, Ron traveled to every Christel House, sitting in classrooms, engaging students and communicating the power of education.
Thanks to his efforts, Christel House Europe was launched to engage the European timeshare community in a host of fundraising activities to benefit Christel House. He served on the Christel House South Africa board for many years with great wisdom and unfailing integrity. Ron was a tireless fundraiser, and an ambassador who regularly motivated others to become supporters.
Ron was also a passionate music lover. As a tribute, Howard Nusbaum, President and CEO of the American Resort Development Association, has made an initial gift to launch the Ron Haylock Music Fund to support music programs at Christel House learning centers.
“Like so many who knew Ron Haylock, Charles and I were deeply saddened by his unexpected passing,” said Howard. “Knowing his devotion to Christel House was matched only by his love of music; we wanted to combine these two passions by creating a fund in his honor earmarked for the music programs at the learning centers. I hope you will join us by adding an extra gift in honor of our friend Ron to your annual Christel House giving.”
Ron Haylock will be sorely missed.

Volunteer Programmes
Christel House South Africa also welcomes volunteers from the global community every year. In the past we have partnered with organisations like the University of North Carolina, Kick Start and the University of Connecticut and have been astounded by the giving hearts of the individuals who come to volunteer at our school.
Volunteers come as teaching assistants, library assistants, social workers and guidance counsellors or as experts in psychology, occupational therapy and remedial teaching.
