ETC believes in giving back to the community we live in, locally and globally.

We support a number of non-profit organizations:


Children of Grace
October, 2010 -- ETC founders Mike Essrig and Chris Taylor have just returned from a trip to Uganda where they got a first-hand view of the philanthropic work of Children of Grace (visit their site ››). This organization offers hope to Ugandan AIDS orphans through education, nutrition, healthcare and empowerment programs to enable a better future. Essrig and Taylor experienced the poverty, devastation and disease in the villages there, and saw how Children of Grace is improving the lives of these children. The organization is extremely efficient in its support of some 700 orphans, with assessment, care and mentorship.

A Wonderful Success Story:
Pictured below are Caroline and Josephine. They have made tremendous progress in the two months since Children of Grace found them in an isolated village. Caroline is now very much enjoying the food she gets everyday. Josephine shows a newfound love of play. In addition, she now gets very excited when she sees the Children of Grace car pull up – and cries when they leave. A doctor visited here on a missions trip recently and performed a fairly simple surgery that helped straighten one of Josephine's eyes. The girls are healthy enough to go home to their grandmother now, and Children of Grace is working to give her grandmother the confidence to care for the girls.
