Long-Term Vision. THE THRIVE ASSESSMENT A Child’s Hope Foundation
Long-Term Vision. That the boys and girls we serve become successful professionals or entrepreneurs who serve society by combining their family integrity with the social, moral, and spiritual values they receive at Casa Hogar Sion. They can keep them throughout their lives and pass them on to others. WHAT PIECES OF THE VISION DO YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE NEXT 2-3 YEARS? To channel our youth and children with the right tools so that when they leave, they can be good men and women in this society. A Child’s Hope Foundation The United Nations (UN), an international organization, has worked tirelessly to find ways to promote a better quality of life so that basic needs are met. In 1959, the UN adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which defines children’s rights to protection, education, healthcare, shelter, and nutrition. Based on the adopted declaration, The Miracle Foundation (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx), a family- focused non-profit that provides resources to orphans mostly in India, codified the UN’s Rights of the Child and developed a Thrive Scale, which measures how well child care facilities are able to obtain each of the rights to the children in their care. This Thrive Scale not only gives child care facility leaders a picture of how they’re doing, but specific and practical steps to improve. With permission, A Child’s Hope Foundation has revised The Thrive Scale to make it adaptable for orphanages. We have codified all 12 Rights, as well as a Finance, Governance, and Human Resource standard, resulting in a total of 15 ACHF standards. These standards ensure that children receive care that truly helps them to thrive, now and in the future. The Thrive Assessment will be administered every 6 months to chart the progress of each standard. It, along with the Orphanage Improvement Roadmap and individual Child’s Hope Plans, will measure and help obtain these rights for each child. Right to Live with Family Casa Hogar Sion is currently at the SUSTAINING level. The children who live here are grouped in different buildings by age and gender, these buildings have rooms in which 12 children are housed. The people in charge of each building are a couple who have been working in the home for at least 2 years and are responsible for guiding and caring for the children and providing them with a warm, safe, and loving environment. Each child that is in the different buildings lives in a family environment, being the reflection and example that the directors Mamá Xxxxxx an...
Long-Term Vision. THE THRIVE ASSESSMENT A Child’s Hope Foundation Casa Hogar Eben-Ezer is an orphanage connected to the Xxxxx Hogar network in Tijuana, Mexico, which offers stable safe accommodation for displaced, orphaned, and abandoned children. Casa Hogar Eben-Ezer is currently home to 18 children between 8 and 21 years old. It was founded and led by Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxxx. Originally from Guatemala, Xxxxxx and Xxx started the home in 2002 when they were invited to take care of 18 children who had been living in a nearby orphanage that had to close its doors. There was a great need for care, love, and attention for these 18 children, so Xxx and Xxxxxx looked at all possible alternatives to help them. Eventually they felt called by God to leave their home in Los Angeles, California and move to Tijuana where they could fulfill their mission with these children. At Casa Hogar Eben-Ezer, all children are part of one big family. Older children teach the little ones how to fold their clothes, do their chores, prepare for school, and do their homework. Over the past 19 years, a total of 210 children have been part of the Casa Hogar Eben-Ezer family. Xxx and Xxxxxx have provided the same parenting style to all the children where love of God, honesty, and responsibility are the main values of their family. For these directors, professional education or learning a trade is the most important tool they feel they can help provide for these children to become self-sufficient. Ultimately, Xxx and Xxxxxx help their children, as they call them, to become integrated citizens who are responsible, successful, and happy as they independently choose the path of their lives once they leave the home.

Long-Term Vision. Sketching is at the roots of any design activity. Sketches are the materials that are passed through the early loops of the design process, as through them the designer produces, verifies, selects, communicates, and refines ideas. In this context, hand and pencil are still the primary tools used by designers to produce a large variety of initial concepts in a very short time. The community of graphic designers has been paying attention to the cognitive and creative processes involved in sketching activities, and has developed tools to facilitate them. Design is however embracing new areas where non-graphical aspects become important. Specifically, within the wide area of interaction design there is a growing interest in interaction mediated by sound. Examples include mobile devices, video-games, social networks, etc. Furthermore, technological develop- ments are rapidly populating our everyday environments with networks of interconnected objects1 dressed with technological capabilities (computing, sensing, and communicating), which seriously raises the issue of communication between users and ubiquitous “machines” devoid of traditional interfaces (displays and keyboards). In product design, designers and theorists are becoming aware that the sonic manifestations of objects can afford natural, powerful, and useful interactions, and participate to the aesthetic appraisal of a product. The transportation industry, in particular, is deeply concerned with the sound quality of the vehicles. The most notable example is probably that of the sounds of quiet vehicles (electric and hybrid), which addresses the issues of pedestrian safety, product aesthetics, and brand image2. In comparison to graphic design, however, the problem of sketching, and more generally of communi- cating the auditory aspects and sonic behavior of objects, has not been seriously addressed yet. Tools that enable intuition, expressiveness, and cooperation are still missing in sound design. In particular, there is no single analogue to hand and pencil, but rather a plethora of tools and methods that can be used to rapidly 1This potentially concerns 50-70 billion ‘machines’ xxxx://xx.xxxxxx.xx/information_society/policy/rfid/documents/commiot2009.pdf 2The forecast of worlwide sales of electric vehicles is 3.8 million annually by 2020 xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/newsroom/worldwide-electric-vehicle-sales-to-reach-3-8-million-annually-by-2020
Long-Term Vision. The GFMC’s the long-term vision is that at least 30% of the land cover will be gazetted as permanent forest cover and managed according to the objectives defined by management plans. When this process is finalised, the permanent forest area will consist of legally gazetted • forest parks, • community forests, • private forests, and • protected areas. The identification of these permanent forest areas is based on an iterative planning process on village level taking into account the needs and requirements of the local population, customary land rights, land capability and environmental needs. It is expected that in the end about 200,000 ha of community forests and 10,000 ha of private forests will be established.
Long-Term Vision. To provide a dignified, safe and quality space for the 25 children and adolescents living in the home, to help them heal and be happy. What pieces of the vision do you hope to accomplish in the next 2-3 years?
Long-Term Vision. THE THRIVE ASSESSMENT The Family Type Care Center (FTCC) Xxxxxx Xxxxxx is a residential-style home for children from the Plovdiv region who are currently unable to enter the xxxxxx care system or live with their family of origin. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx provides children ages 12 to 19 a family-like environment where they have opportunities to develop as individuals and as community members. The director and staff at Xxxxxx Xxxxxx work to help the children gain both cognitive and social skills, being especially aware of their needs to overcome traumatic and stressful situations. The FTCC also works with any available family members, including parents and relatives, to minimize the child’s stay at Xxxxxx Xxxxxx. Family reunification is the highest goal for Xxxxxx Xxxxxx if it is considered to be in the best interests of the child. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, the director of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, leads a team of six, including social workers, a staff nurse, and a financial secretary. The FTCC follows a budget set by the municipality and has also set aside a small budget for emergencies. Good connections and partnerships: Over the years, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx has benefited from the partnership of several organizations, including Agapedia Bulgaria Foundation, Educational Support, Social Teahouse (Varna), Divisi (Plovdiv), Plusheno Xxxxx, and the Movement of Bulgarian Mothers. These organizations provide funds for activities and holidays for the children. Children with special needs also receive opportunities to develop their talents through additional funding and opportunities. Thanks to these partnerships, the services, and facilities for children and young people have been improved. This, in turn, allows Xxxxxx Xxxxxx to continue to function and strive to offer children a happy and normal life. A Child’s Hope Foundation Xxxxxx Xxxxxx’x mission is to continue to maintain and improve the standard of living and care at the home with special emphasis on developing a unique “family-type” atmosphere. To achieve this, Xxxxxx and her team strive to raise happy children by providing them with excellent housing, proper nutrition, and appropriate healthcare and education. The main goal of the FTCC is to provide a quality of life that ensures full physical, emotional, and cognitive development and social inclusion of each child in their natural environment by providing personalized care in attentive and supportive conditions. Xxxxxx and her team go beyond the basics, however. They treat children with respect...
Long-Term Vision. THE THRIVE ASSESSMENT A Child’s Hope Foundation Casa Hogar La Xxxxxx, A.C. was founded by Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx XxXxxxxxx who visited a home that housed abandoned children and elderly volunteers while doing community service in early 1976. Seeing the precarious conditions in which these individuals were living, they took on the task of channeling the elderly to different nursing homes for proper care and began working to improve the living conditions of the children. They formed the first board of trustees made up of friends and volunteers who took the name Hogar Infantil La Xxxxxx. Due to the scope of this project, the financial sponsorship of the Order of Augustinian Fathers of San Diego was sought. On March 18, 1987, after establishing a stable facility and financial resources to support the home, the articles of incorporation were notarized and the board of trustees was legally formalized. In subsequent years, the efforts of these dedicated individuals and the growing number of benefactors and volunteers supported the consolidation of the home. However, in 1996 a short circuit in the children’s dormitories caused a fire, resulting in the loss of the dormitories. Thankfully, the children and staff were in the movie theater at the time and no one was injured. With the help of the board of trustees, volunteers, and the community, new dormitories along with safer electrical installations were soon installed. The facilities and support for the children continue to improve. In 2004, the board of trustees decided to change the profile of the children they served from voluntarily surrendered children to those housed in a government institution, mainly children who are dependent on the Integral Development System for the Family (DIF). The purpose of this change was to better support the government in the care of vulnerable children. In 2014, due to administrative issues, the home changed names from Hogar Infantil La Xxxxxx to Casa Hogar La Xxxxxx A.C. Although the home has the capacity to house up to 32 minors, they presently care for 21 children and adolescents in vulnerable situations who are under the guardianship of DIF. A Child’s Hope Foundation Vision:To facilitate the healthy development of the children in our care and to generate their security and confidence in their present and future. Casa Hogar La Xxxxxx is an association that has the conviction to provide every child that enters the home an opportunity to improve his/her future as much as possibl...
