CHARTER For Residential Services

In response to our mission and vision we will welcome disabled persons into our homes with warm hospitality and love; a love that fosters trust and security, enabling them to make it their home in body and spirit.

We will strive to give disabled persons a state of permanency in order to alleviate their feelings of fear and rejection; to see and to lead them with dignity to a realization of their own gifts.

We strive to build a Community that reflects and nurtures each member’s individual spirituality; one that recognizes and respects all beliefs and creates an environment in which all can live in harmony.

Further, we will work toward being a community that is open to service to the larger community and one that openly shares itself and its gifts.

We, and those who come to assist us, are called to enter into authentic relationships with disabled persons and to concern ourselves with learning how to lead them, through these relationships, to inner healing.

We are willing to allow ourselves to be led to an awareness of our own brokenness and become a community of forgiveness.

Assistants coming to Anderson Woods should expect and understand that they are welcome members of our community and that their personal goals are important to us. One of those goals should be to experience community life with a level of maturity that accepts the joys of community equally with the pain and responsibility of living closely with disabled persons. They are to realize that it is a time of total dedication to those disabled members and that it is through that dedication that their own personal growth and goals can be reached.

Each of us, realizing our roll, then to perform with a joyful heart, those daily acts that bind our lives in harmony; to offer ourselves to be called to do those very ordinary things with extraordinary love, for it is in this love that true community flowers. It is a love that flows from the heart of God.

The Special Olympics

Marian Heights Academy senior Yuri Ibara, left, hugged and rocked Marissa Thompson, of Siberia, between events at a Special Olympics track and field meet. Thompson was one of some 70 athletes to participate. "These people need love," said Ibara, a native of Caborca, Sonora, Mexico. "I like to help."
