Needs

One of the many challenging things about moving overseas with kids is finding the right school.  For most families there are great international English speaking school where they can send their children (ICSV being one of them).  Unfortunately, for a small handful of kids, the type of school that provide additional help isn't available.  In the US it wouldn't be a problem for them to get extra services such as speech, physical therapy, occupational therapy, reading services, academic help, etc.  Overseas is an entirely different story.  ICSV has been working on providing some of these services to our students, but without additional funding we can only offer a minimal amount.  This year alone we've had to turn away several students and families simply because we couldn't provide the for the extra needs that they had.  In order to fix this problem, we've begun a fundraising campaign called "You Matter!"  If you'd like to find out more, please click here.  To find out how to donate, you can click here.
