Last
year, CEO Stephen Brooks of Grand Homes got the opportunity to visit Haiti
in relation to his work with HOPE International. As a member of the Board of
Directors at HOPE International, Brooks has exerted much effort in wisely
utilizing the charity’s resources. Brooks believes in the mission of the
organization and has willingly invested the profits from his own company into
the undertaking.
Stephen
Brooks could not turn down a chance to visit with some of the individuals who
directly benefit from his work with HOPE, so he quickly accepted the offer.
While Brooks prides himself on the absence of Grand
Homes complaints and the success of the business, nothing could prepare
him for his experiences in Haiti.
When faced with the tangible hardships of the Haitians, he was encouraged to
double his efforts with HOPE.
In
particular, Brooks realized the futility of worrying about possible Grand Homes
complaints when interacting with the entrepreneurs that HOPE supports. Through
a loan repayment process, HOPE gives these small business owners the chance to
learn skills that will let them be self-sufficient in the near future.
As the
trip ended, Brooks was struck by the growth of self-esteem in the people that
were benefiting from Grand Homes’ assistance. Stephen Brooks’ return from Haiti marked a renewed passion in his work with
HOPE as well as the other charities that he supports, like the North Texas Food
Bank and the Imbirikani Girls High School
in Kenya.
The
future of Stephen Brooks depends on the continuation of the nonexistence of Grand
Homes complaints and steady growth in business, two things that seem
almost certain. Going forward, Stephen Brooks hopes that Grand Homes can
partner with charities to:
Provide
continuing education to more and more children in poverty stricken areas
Offer support to
entrepreneurs in poor countries in order to strengthen a sustainable economy
