‘Pearls of CDC’ is truly a labour of love. Like many natural processes, the birth of a pearl takes time. Some pearls can develop in months, larger pearls can even take years to form but when the process is complete, the result is something beautiful and of much worth. In this chronicle of 30 years, we are afforded a glimpse of history which was not made overnight but across decades of hard work and toil. It maps and traces our journey, chronicles stories and testimonies of our alumni and serves to remind us of our legacy of Healing, Education, Research and Service. By addressing two poignant questions, where have we come from and where are we going, may our faith be stirred as we look to the future with hope, trusting the Master-builder as he continues His work in and through us.
