"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." -Maimonides 12th Century Philosopher

At Christel House, we teach children to fish as part of our philosophy of self-sufficiency. A comprehensive and holistic human development model distinguishes Christel House among childrens charities. Our mission is to help children around the world break the cycle of poverty and become self-sufficient, contributing members of society.

As ARDA's charity of choice and the recipient of much generosity from our friends in the timeshare industry, it is a privilege to contribute this piece of art, created by a Christel House student, to the AIF auction.
