It is with immense pleasure that I an-
nounce that one of the three elementary
school buildings now has a name: the
Hisham Ezzat Jaroudi building. It’s
thrilling to see our fundraising efforts
paying off.
Let me introduce you to Mr Jaroudi: an
IC graduate who left the school in 1962
but never forgot his beginnings. “Every-
thing I learned, everything I am today, I
owe to IC,” he said.
The son of a simple merchant, Hisham
used to work at the IC library to provide
his own allowance. His parents believed
in a solid education and saved every
penny to send him and his siblings to the
best school around.
He doesn’t hide the fact that he has done
well financially. But as he puts is: “What’s
the point of having it if you can’t share it?”
When I told him of our plans to con-
struct a new elementary school building,
Hisham didn’t hesitate. He marched into
my office and handed me his pledge. A
few weeks later, he honored the pledge
and handed me the first check.
Thank you Hisham.There are no words
that can possibly express our gratitude.
In this issue we also remember Mehio.
Who can forget him? Do you still owe
him money? Well, here’s your chance to
pay it back.
Omar Sawaf ‘73
started a fund
in Mehio’s honor. Its proceeds will help us
build the new school. So those of you who
still owe Mehio money --- go for it!
It’s been a busy year of travelling and
soliciting. But it’s all been worth it.
Meeting you and seeing your love for IC
is very touching.
Thanks to you, our new elementary school
is on the way.
