Meet the New Board
Following the passing of Eli Miranda in November
2012, Deputy Chair Person Cynthia Tinitigan has filled
the position. I am pleased to announce that, at our
AGM in April 2013, Cynthia was nominated and
accepted the position as Chair Person. Also, Arlene
Trinkler was nominated and accepted the Board
position of Administration Manager.
This year we gave the Nursery, Elementary, & High
School children all different school bags.
When you consider where these children live, they all
look a million dollars when attending school – all very
proud to display the Cararoo name.
Back Row: Mariano Lee, Jaime Gonzales, Maurie
Schokman COO, Philip Nazareno Legal Counsel,
Maverick Evangelista Secretary to Board
Front Row: Arlene Trinkler - Administration Manager,
Cynthia Tinitigan - Chair Person, Claire Atkins Physiologist and consultant to Board.
Start of 2013 –14 School Year
Each year the success of our school
sponsorship program gets better
and more positive, reinforcing to
those who manage and run the
Foundation, with no monetary or
other rewards, that we are doing
the right thing.
It does make you feel good when you see how
EDUCATION gives these children confidence and a
feeling of self-worth, something we all take for granted.
This year, 5 children graduated
High School and 5 children graduated Elementary
School and continued onto
High School.
Unfortunately, 3 students had to be terminated for not
following their terms of agreement with Cararoo. They
were all given 2 warnings over the course of the 12
months. 6 Children from the Nursery also joined the
Sponsorship
program
at
Elementary level.
The Remedial Reading for
Elementary school students,
which runs 6 days per week
including school holidays, is
proving to be a success. By
increasing the skill levels of the
students we can see
improvements in school grades.
We thank our
sponsors & supporters.
