Team - Children's Circle Mission

Lita Kharmai, Founder and President

In addition to developing and running CCM, Lita also worked full-time at Meijer, Inc. in the corporate office. She retired from Meijer after 32 years. Lita and her husband Nancumar have three children who are "all grown up" now, so they have more time to dedicate to helping children around the world.

CCM began as God led Lita to help Baby Sarah in Guyana several years ago. Now, CCM is an official 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that seeks to help heal children and bring those children and their families to Christ.

Lita was born in Guyana, South America and moved to the States when she was a teenager and began her new life with husband Nancumar.

Dr. John Park, Trustee and Donor Doctor

Serving the Lord by providing surgical care for children in need has always given me a special joy. I travel to Haiti yearly with my other committed friends to do what we can, but there are several complicated congenital defects which cannot by addressed safely without the support of health care team back home.

The CCM has done a wonderful job of connecting me to these children and their families, so that they could travel to US for these surgeries. By bringing these children here, not only do they receive a great care, but also everyone here gets to participate in the joy of helping these little ones. These works have sharpened the focus of why we are in medicine in the first place and rekindled the genuine joy of sharing the "Agape" love.

The CCM's commitment to sharing Christ's love is evident in their passionate attention to details. I have been privileged to work with them.
