Another exciting day at the Light-In group!

Ann Stromme, one of our team coordinators hit the required standards today to get promoted to a Senior Team Coordinator! She is now one step away from becoming an Assistant Executive and we are incredibly excited for her success.

Ann moved to New York from Texas 3 months ago to become a part of the Light-In family, and while she took her time to warm up to the idea of being in a new city and starting a new life, she made an immediate mental decision to make her presence felt with her quiet determination, strength of character and dignified grace. Of course once she got more comfortable and let her not-so-subtle southern guard down we saw an incredibly warm, wonderfully big hearted individual emerge.

Ann’s strength lies in the fact that she cares beyond words for the people in her life.  Making a friend of Ann means you just acquired a friend for life. This was clearly evident in her devotion to her customers and clients ensuring that their needs were her priority as well as her obvious affection , loyalty and genuine love for her team that she very quickly went on to build.

She has had her ups and downs in the past 3 months as well as her fair share of personal hiccups but having made the decision to treat every hiccup as just another obstacle made it easy for her to sprint ahead and never looked back.

We are incredibly proud of her and all that she has achieved so far. This is just the beginning of better things to come and as much as we are happy to share in her journey, we are that much more excited to see what she continues to do to ensure long term growth and success for herself and her team.

Congratulations again to Ann and her awesome team – we are so proud of “ya’ll” J

The Light-In Group, Inc. Sponsors Gambo in Niger!

At The Light-In Group, our President, Jason Markman, places a strong emphasis on cultivating a sense of civic duty via involvement in communities both local and international. One of our philanthropic activities involves the sponsorship of a child, Gambo Salaou, who is living in Niger.

Gambo lives in a poor rural community in an extremely challenging environment. The contributions we make affect Gambou’s quality of life and that of the community he lives in. Our sponsorship helps to increase access to clean and safe drinking water, improved health care, and the opportunity to attend school.

Gambo is now seven years old and lives with his parents, two brothers, and three sisters. His father is a farmer and struggles to provide for his large family. Their home is made of clay bricks and mud for mortar. For roofing they use straw. From March to September the temperature is in the 100s and from October to February drops to the 50s. Their diet mainly consists of millet, corn, sorghum, beans, and groundnuts. Inoculation against many common diseases is very important as there is a high rate of mortality in this region. We are able to write to Gambo on a regular basis.

In this increasingly interconnected world we believe that it is imperative to be aware of what is happening in places such as Niger. The nonprofit organization that is doing the work on the ground in Niger is changing lives and we will continue to support them through our sponsorship of Gambou. Moving forwards we plan to sponsor more children and hope others will seek to do the same.

World Vision is a great organization that puts 100% into their beliefs and values.
