VALERIE PROJECT:
Donations for the welcome baskets and ongoing personal needs for Valerie and her mother, Alejandra, are being collected. Donations can dropped off at NTS Therapy Services - a huge thanks to Darlene O'Brien NTS West Director & her staff! NTS truly lives by their mission of "therapy from the heart" as demonstrated by their therapists willingness to donate their time to work with Valerie and her mother when they arrive.

Egypt Project 2006
Nora Nasr, Carrie's Heart secretary and Life Skills teacher at Cinco Ranch High School, will be travelling to Egypt during the month of June. During her travels Nora will be visiting special education schools and programs in Cairo. Nora's sister Aida, a journalist, published an article about the special education system in recent years. Using these established contacts Nora will have the opportunity to collaborate with local educators and learn firsthand about the special education system in Cairo. Our hopes are that this initial visit will build relationships leading to future projects in Egypt!
