What is Chefoo Reconsidered?

... a means for the Chefoo/Hostels family to meet to share our memories and experiences and to confront the issues we face today as a consequence of early childhood separation.

... committed to working alongside OMF to best serve our adult TCK’s.

We are not ... set up in opposition to OMF

... bent on apportioning blame or seeking restitution for damage done to us as

children.

... seeking to deflect from OMF’s primary purpose.

We aim to … provide regular opportunities for the Chefoo tribe to meet together to celebrate the good, deal with the bad and look to the future.

... provide a secure, family environment where Chefusians can be fully accepted, loved and supported and have fun together.

... provide practical, financial and counselling support for those struggling with the issues caused by early childhood separation and our subsequent ‘homeland’ experiences.

We promise to ... endeavour to make all Chefusians feel equally welcome at CR events and on the closed CR Facebook group.

... provide a safe environment in which Chefusians can share freely and openly and without any fear of any violation of their privacy.

... provide the widest possible range of events and opportunities to meet the needs of everyone within the CR community.

... provide a setting in which faith issues may be discussed respectfully without any fear of faith or non-faith positions being disrespected.

NB. CR cannot guarantee that outside speakers may not occasionally step over the agreed line in this respect, but we will do everything in our power to prepare invitees to properly respect this intention and we will deal promptly with any infringements.
