FOUNDATION UPDATE<br />
A Trip to Candyland<br />
On August 4, the Chaldean Community Foundation’s<br />
Breaking Barriers Academy students visited<br />
Sanders Chocolate Factory in Clinton Township,<br />
Michigan.<br />
The students had the opportunity to tour the<br />
shop, see how the chocolate at Sanders is made,<br />
and purchase chocolate to bring home to their<br />
families. The field trip is a regular tradition that<br />
the program uses to help acculturate the participants<br />
into the community.<br />
