Getting to Know The CareVacations Family


     If you have ever called CareVacations, chances are good you’ve received a friendly hello from one of our newest members to the CareVacations team, Teri-Ann Ross.
     In September 2010, Teri-Ann joined the CareVacations family and was a welcome addition to our corporate office team in Leduc, Alberta, after completing her Fine Arts degree. At 21, Teri-Ann’s passion is all about the arts; she loves to sing, play the guitar & banjo, volunteers for her church’s music program, and is presently involved with production of “Kiss Me Kate” at her local theater company.
     Another of Teri-Ann’s passions is her deep love and devotion to the orphans in Haiti. Coordinated through her church, Teri-Ann volunteered at several orphanages in the earthquake-ravaged country, specifically giving attention to those children with special needs.

     After her trip to Haiti, Teri-Ann continued her volunteer efforts in Haiti by coordinating donations of medical equipment for the orphanages she had visited just weeks before. She is also hopeful to revisit Haiti on an annual basis, continuing her work in the orphanages and helping children with disabilities.
     Her initial trip to Haiti was so inspiring, Teri-Ann now plans to return to school and earn a degree in Physical/Occupational Therapy, and applying her knowledge to the long-term care of the Haitian orphans.
     Teri-Ann’s been a great asset to the CareVacations family. We’re proud of her accomplishments and her contributions to our company, as well as her outstanding position as a member of our community. THANK YOU, TERI-ANN!
