SADCO member awarded with the Golden Apple Award for best teacher in Indiana

SADCO's Liliana Nuñez awarded with the Golden Apple Award - CONGRATULATIONS The Friends of Colombia Society would like to congratulate Lililana Nunez, a member of SADCO Board of Directors, for her 2003 The Golden Apple Award. This Award recognizes those teachers who excel in the classroom by utilizing math, science or technology. Each teacher receives a $2,000 monetary award and a customized golden apple. Teachers were honored for their creativity, innovation and motivation to help children learn and excel during the annual IPL Golden Apple Awards at 8 p.m. Monday, May 12, 2003, at the Indiana Roof Ballroom. IPL selected 25 teachers to receive Golden Apple Awards for their outstanding contributions to education. Among the 25 awarded teachers there was only one minority representative, Liliana Nunez, a Colombian native and a SADCO member. Congratulations to Liliana. We are proud of you. I invite all SADCO members to greet Liliana and congratulate her for her achievements.

Change for Children in Colombia

SADCO's project "CHANGE OF CHILDREN IN COLOMBIA" is going very well. About 10% of the total distributed piggy banks have been collected with an average amount of $70 per piggy bank. Our goal is to collect funds through the distribution of piggy banks to help institutions in Colombia dedicated to taking care of children living in abject poverty. Some of these children have been abandoned by their parents or have serious health or mental limitations. While you can do very little with the change you receive from daily transactions in the USA, that change can CHANGE the lives of children in Colombia because the little we give here can make a big difference to those institutions in Colombia. If you would like to receive a piggy bank to fill it along with your family and/or friends, contact SADCO to sadcowww@iquest.net or call at (317) 767-7927. And on behalf of the Children in Colombia, thank you so much.
