On Saturday, July 19, 2008, Domus welcomed 100 GE executives from 15 countries visiting Stamford to attend GE’s annual Experienced Commercial Leadership Program (ECLP). One group of the visiting GE executives organized a day of fun and learning for 80 Domus youth of all ages at the Hilton Stamford Hotel who hosted the day-long event free of charge. The GE professionals brought gifts from their respective counties for each of the participating youth and introduced the Domus kids to the world through a variety of games and educational projects. Here our kids are with the GE project leader (center), Rachelle Gaskell, GE Money – UK
Domus is now working with the Bridgespan Group, one of the nation’s top nonprofit consulting firms, to ensure we’re maximizing our impact for vulnerable kids and families. Bridgespan clients include the cream of the crop: Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Network for Good, Sesame Workshop, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and many others in the foundation and nonprofit world. We’re honored to join them, and we are grateful to the generous donors who have made this partnership possible. We’ll keep you posted on the project, which will end in January 2009.
