SPRING
2013
The furniture is here, the boards are up, the gym is set – now we just need the
children. And they will arrive on April 9th. It’s an exciting day for all.These
buildings are not solely for the Elementary school students. One of them –
which includes the 422- seater theatre and gyms - is for the use of the entire
student body.The project has become a reality thanks to wonderful donors like
yourselves who continuously believe in our mission.
In this issue, we continue with the popular series about Alexander MacLachlan
and the humble beginnings of IC in Turkey. We show you the spirit of our
youngsters who decided to work and raise enough money to buy new bathrooms
for a public school and we update you on the wonderful recovery of IC’s miracle
child, Daniella, who, at the age of six, was diagnosed with cancer.
And, of course, we boast about the accomplishments of two alumni who have
in their own way given back to society: Joy Jamal Eddine who, at only 21,
represents the Special Olympics and was chosen to become a keynote speaker
at an international conference; and a young sociologist turned designer who hit
upon the brilliant idea of creating teams of women prisoners to produce the
ever popular “Sarah’s bags”.
We will keep you updated on our move!
Thank you for all your support.
Best wishes,
