Business response:
Hello again Chi Wah Wong. As we've shared, the subjects of stewardship, salaries and total compensation levels are taken very seriously at CI. Our Board of Directors, who volunteer their services to Children International, annually review the organization’s salary structure, including the total compensation levels of the CEO and other executive officers.

I sponsored a girl in Brazil for several years. Lost track of her because I moved overseas. She should be a teenager by now, I hope she is well.
We had so much fun today at the dog park. I think we like to go there just like our dogs. We live close to the lake and sometimes we take them down there. They enjoy walking and getting in the water. I was thinking about getting another car. I can't afford a new one and have to get a used one. Along the way to the used car lot we saw a lot of people looking up in the sky. When we stopped at the car lot, we got out of the car and looked up to see what everyone was looki...Continue Reading
