Description
André Chapman left his lucrative Silicon Valley career in high-tech sales to work full time in the field of foster care. Some questioned that move. But twenty-five years later, Unity Care Group, the organization he founded and directs, serves thousands of foster children and families, while stimulating revolutionary improvements in the fields of foster care and public education.
Through these pages, you will be:
• Encouraged by this man’s remarkable story of courage, faith, and vision.
• Challenged by his innovative ideas for transforming our broken educational and foster-care systems.
• Inspired by his devotion to bringing hope to the hopeless while growing “roses in concrete.”
What can you do to carry this message and also make a difference?
