EDITOR’S NOTE
We’ve had our ups and we’ve had our downs
this year. The political situation has spared no
one. But as usual, IC managed to rise above the
trouble. It is here where students of all religions
continued to meet. It is here where sectarianism
disappeared and students saw each other purely
as friends. That is not to say they were not
affected. They were disturbed to see their leaders fight – even if only verbally.
One of our students, a 17-year old, was so tired of sectarianism and politics that
he formed his own organization: Volunteers with No Constraints – meaning
without religion and without political affiliation. His organization now boasts
250 young members, many of them IC students. They help where necessary and
serve when needed. Thanks to them, many have benefited.
This student’s name is Shawky Amineddine and he is an IC scholar. Shawky dis-
covered his love for social work because of IC’s graduation requirement: to ful-
fill 90 hours of community service. At the beginning, Shawky balked. He didn’t
want to put in the hours but he had no choice. Before long, he knew he had dis-
covered his mission in life: to help others.
Without your donations to IC, we wouldn’t have been able to provide Shawky
with a scholarship. And without IC, Shawky wouldn’t have discovered his love for
social work. And without Shawky’s organization, hundreds of underprivileged
children and disabled wouldn’t have 250 young volunteers to care for them.
So on behalf of IC and Shawky, we thank you.
And a special thanks go to the many donors, IC and non IC alumni, who
believe in our mission to provide children – from all walks of life – with a well
rounded education.
Best wishes always,
Moufid Beydoun ‘64
Vice President for Alumni & Development
