Our Story
Five women from the community, who took courage and decided to set in motion the wheels of this new organisation at the service of our community in a simple, genuine, honest manner and with a total commitment to become a positive force of change, inspiring and assisting those who need it, formed the first Management Committee.
Since the beginning, we have highlighted our values based on principles, considering love, honesty, and integrity as essential conditions for our work within and outside the organisation.
We wish to emphasise that it is very important for us to work on the issue of interpersonal relationships as we consider the life of each individual as highly valuable. Every human being is important; every person deserves to be taken into account. We launched CASA with a women breakfast event with a lot of enthusiasm and passion, and from this event, we began our activities. It was a Saturday Breakfast which was attended by 80 women.
We presented the vision, mission and working plan of the organisation. We were delighted by Angelita Gomez’s talk “Woman do you know your destiny?” It was a quiet, enjoyable and fun environment.
During this period, we have received many contributions from local businesses and friends who support us during our fundraising events and programs.
The generous and selfless contribution of artists from the Spanish speaking community should also be mentioned, as it was much appreciated.
Our motto is “We all need each other” and this has been a reality so far, but financial help is crucial as well also the volunteer’s participation for the achievement of our objectives. CASA is running from 2008 exclusively by faithful volunteers.
