October 13, 2017 marked 29 years of operation for the Concordia Day Care and Community Center (CDCC). We have been serving the children, women, and families of the Bangna slum community for three decades now, helping provide access to education and public health to empower individuals in achieving their full potential.
The CDCC assists the most vulnerable of all ages in the community through assorted programs which help provide the education, training, and public health support needed to break the cycle of poverty and achieve their full potential.
This past year the CDCC directly impacted 2,428 people in the community in the following areas:
Introducing "Aod"
Aod is one of the children in the CDCC day care program. He is five years old and has one older brother, an older sister, and three older half-brothers. They all live with Aod's mother and father in the Bangna slum. His father works as a technician at a hospital and his mother is a food stll vendor. Aod has been diagnosed with kidney cancer and receives regular treatments at a children's hospital. The CDCC staff have worked closely with his family since his initial diagnosis in 2015 to ensure he receives the best support and care. To this end, the CDCC provides 1,000 Thai baht (US$30) per month to the family to help with the ongoing costs of his treatment.
Please join us this #GivingTuesday and beyond as we serve children like Aod and his family in this slum community.
