David Harris, President and CEO of Christel House International recently joined The IBJ Podcast to discuss our plans to serve more students around the world. In the episode, “Inside Christel House’s plan to expand its global network of schools,” Harris reflected on Christel DeHaan’s vision to grow beyond a single school and reach children around the world with a model strong enough to change life outcomes for generations. The conversation also highlighted expansion underway in India, Mexico, and South Africa, along with new developments in Colombia and Nepal – growth made possible through strong local partnerships and a continued commitment to quality. David also shared how he’s training for the London Marathon next month. It will be his first marathon, and he’s running to raise money and awareness for Christel House. The podcast is available on Spotify or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
