High Cloud Foundation - Because Dreams Come True

Written by Megan Zingarelli

A High Cloud delegation traveled to New York City last week to meet with a member of the British royal family. At a charity fundraising event, High Clouders told Prince Edward about High Cloud's humanitarian projects all over the world. The prince said the work sounded "jolly good" to him and that High Cloud shares many goals with his organization. High Cloud hopes to continue the relationship with the prince's organization to expand and solidify humanitarian operations.

The prince was in New York to meet with students and donors for The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award for Young People (www.intaward.org). Edward, Earl of Wessex, stood in for his father the Duke. Like High Cloud, the award organization helps children worldwide to reach their potential. The organization focuses on community service, physical recreation, and personal development through "adventurous journeys" and skill building.

High Clouders met many other business people, attorneys, and humanitarians in New York who urged High Cloud to stay in touch to establish partnerships. These ranged from the Arab Bankers Association to individual investors.

Neda Akbarzadeh, a High Cloud international project coordinator, attended the event.

"The thrill of having such chance has overwhelmed us all," she said. "We are eager to use the synergy in advancing our mission and helping out the young victims of the poverty around the world."
