Professional Services Contributions:

The original creative concept and development of our website was the product of a talented multi-media designer, Fuad Vince Marie. We are indebted to the many hours he contributed in creating this website and to designing our 2003 camp brochure.

Further development of the website in 2004 was the work of David Moser, multi-media designer, and John Kirk of Dystan Hayes, information technology consultant. We are extremely grateful for their time and creative efforts.

Our 2004 camp brochure was the design of a highly talented and dedicated graphic arts student, Isaac Evans, who has also designed our organization¹s poster, banner and T-shirt. His work was part of a class effort at The Art Institute of Philadelphia, under the direction of instructor, Bernadette Rivell. We very much appreciate Ms. Rivell's interest and support of our organization and the efforts of all the students.

In 2005, a talented young University of the Arts student, Andy Schwanbeck, further developed the design of our camp brochure. And we were fortunate to have our website updated all the way from Haifa, by Mahran Amona, a dedicated student of English language and literature at the University of Haifa. Yasmin Al-Khayat, an interior designer and web designer, has also generously donating her time to updating and enhancing our website.

In 2006-07 our camp brochure was designed by Abigail Wendell, and in 2008 the brochure was designed by IFE Designs + Associates. TAWS Presentation Plus of Philadelphia have been most supportive in all our printing needs.

Over the past two years, we have had valuable consulting advise on organizational development from Kimberly Camp, Anthony Ng, and Anne Edmunds.

A BIG THANK YOU to our sponsors, donors, and consultants!
