“At the regular board meeting of joy squared on november 12, 2014 the following was discussed and adopted by a unanimous vote of the board, (8 members present) discussed: involving "candle that care" to operate as a project of joy squared. Candles that care is a group four young men who have a desire to raise funds through the manufacture and sale of candles and in turn purchase and deliver soccer balls directly to the children of the kibera slum in kenya. This project fully meets our mission to "come alongside hurting people, bringing transforming joy to both those that are helped and those that help". We considered the fact that this project would cause a portion of our charitable activities to be involved in a foreign country. Decided: based on full knowledge of those involved with candles that care, it was decided to allow this project under the corporate umbrella as one, which meets all criteria of our mission. We felt strongly that this partnership with candles that care will do as we are mandated: "building relationships and joy through generosity, using resources to enrich the lives of others freely and without expectation of reciprocation". The candles that care project will be regularly monitored for merit and adherence to the mission of joy squared.”
