Staff and Advisors
CARA is made up of a broad array of individuals, based in the UK and in Asia.
Our entire organisation is made up of concerned individuals who work to make a difference for vulnerable and at-risk children. None of our staff or advisors recieve compensation from CARA, except for the appreciation of the people we serve.
