Compassion House      

A Ministry for Foster, Adoption and Community Children
Cared For Under Our Exclusive Life-Changing
Cognitive Mentoring Method.

Our Method & Ministry is Successful
Our exclusive cognitive mentoring method helps improve a child's chances for success in life with little or no ill-effect of their unfortunate life history to impact on the rest of their lives.  Our kids have won chess tournaments (city-wide), some who were failing school all together have turned around and they were promoted with their class.  One child had never done any essay assignments during the year.  He came to us in April and in May the teachers told the parent he would not be promoted.  We were successful in persuading the school to allow him to make up the work - but they gave him only till the end of the month.  With our therapy and some motivation, that child did the rest!  One night even after we told him that is was enough - go to bed!  He insisted on finishing the last two assignments!  He was featured at a university graduation ceremony and at school - he passed!  Even the school administrators, teachers and school psychologist saw the great change the child had demonstrated since April (when he first started with our after-school initiative).  Another great success in our hands!  Our children turn their lives around because we care and we know how to help them.  We even teach parents how to help their own children.

Compassion House restores self-worth to each child under our care and helps them overcome any and all obstacles that are present or may occur in their lives.  For more information on how our program helps these children, read about Cognitive Mentoring, here.  Also read about the CMT Bus Program which utilizes a mobile outreach version of the Compassion House methodology, here.
