| Bio: |
Hi….my name is Carolyn Ketterer and I live in the beautiful San Diego area. After college I lived in North Chicago; met a sailor; we moved to San Diego and have been here about 43 years. I retired in 1999 after teaching many different subjects at the high school level. I went back to school to obtain a library/media credential and the last 9 years of my career I was a high school librarian. Since retiring, I enjoy traveling and spend much time doing my favorite hobby of quilting for myself as well as The Prayers & Squares Quilt Ministry.
I had the privilege to visit a number of orphanages in the Vladimer Region of Russia in the fall of 2002. I was extremely impresses with what CHC was doing in Russia to assist orphan children and young adults, so I came home and shared my experiences with my congregation. A few years later, my pastor took a similar trip to Russia with CHC and upon his return, our congregation has started a sponsorship of the Komsomolsk Orphanage. Because of my career commitment to serving others as a teacher/librarian, I realized I can further use my gifts to help CHC in working to change the world for orphans one child at a time. So, I am planning to run/walk this Half Marathon on September 2 to Run for One, namely my sponsored child at the Komsomolsk Orphanage, Elena M. Elena is a second grader and I am looking forward to helping her as well as her orphanage. I hope and pray that through my efforts, she and others like her will have a better life. I hope each of you reading this can help me to achieve this goal. Your prayers and donations will help.

A social orphan, Elena M. lives in an orphanage in Russia. Both her mother and father have lost their parental rights. Elena’s interests include poetry and singing. Her personality is best described as amiable, good-natured, nice and outgoing. By supporting the Run for One, Elena will have the opportunity to grow physically, emotionally, mentally, educationally and spiritually. She will also be given the benefit of knowing that someone in the United States cares for her. Thank you for your continued concern.
