Making a Difference in the lives of children…Once upon a time, there was a man who was walking on the beach before he began his work. As he looked down the beach, he saw a young man picking up something and throwing it into the ocean. “What are you doing?” The young man replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean. The sun is up and the tide is going out and if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.” “But young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!” The young man listened politely. Then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea, and said-“made a difference for that one.”
Central Indiana First Steps and Cluster G are truly grateful for all the dedicated providers in our area. It is because of your efforts that we are able to provide our families with such quality services for their children. You truly are making a difference in the lives of children!!
“I have so enjoyed having First Steps work with my foster children. The therapists have been so loving and helpful, and the kids look forward to their time playing (really learning) with their therapists. Thank you for all you do for these kids.” H.H. foster parent
