Meet’s IC’s youngest donor in the Partnership for Excellence
Campaign so far: 7-year-old Zaki Fawwas. He started saving
his allowance a month ago when he picked up the IC Newsletter
and a donation envelope fell out. His mother explained to him
that the envelope was for anyone who would like to donate some
money to the school. That’s when Zaki decided to he would like
to fill up the envelope with his allowance. His surprised par-
ents agreed. “I was pleased,” said his father,
Hadi Fawaz ’90
, an
auditor and financial consultant. “I myself loved studying at IC
and I’m glad that my son loves it here so much that he wants to
donate his money.”
On May 10th, Zaki and his father showed up at the president’s
office where Zaki handed in his envelope – with 100,000 LL - in
it to John Johnson.
“I usually buy toys with my money,” said Zaki. “I’ve got lots
already.This time, I want to give my money to IC because I like
my school.”
The Maher Abdallah Saidi Room
The multipurpose room in the new South Building (of the new elementary
school) is now the Maher Abdallah Saidi Multipurpose Room thanks to a gen-
erous parent donor who prefers to remain anonymous. Mr Saidi
–
a late relative
of the donor
–
graduated from IC in 1961 then earned a degree in Architecture
at the University of Tennessee. He passed away in 2010.
