Thirty Years of ICRI

Friday, February 25th, 2011

2011 is off to an incredible start for ICRI.  We have many exciting new projects around the globe, and we look forward to telling you about them in the weeks and months ahead.

At the same time, this is also a year of deep reflection and celebration for us, as we celebrate our 30th anniversary!

To commemorate this important milestone, and to honor some of the incredible individuals and initiatives that have made ICRI what it is today, we are developing a collection of profiles that we’re tentatively calling “30 Stories from 30 Years of the International Child Resource Institute.”

Each story will focus on a particular person or a particular project that played an important role in ICRI’s 30 year history.  We hope you’ll be entertained and inspired by these stories, and that you’ll learn more about our organization and our unique approach to improving the lives of children and families around the world.

Please keep your eye on this blog and our Facebook page, where we’ll be posting the profiles throughout the year.  And please accept our deepest gratitude for your support of ICRI!

Project Commotion on the Radio

ICRI is the fiscal sponsor of Project Commotion, a community space in San Francisco where children, families, and educators are invited to learn and grow together through movement, sensory experiences, and creative play.

Tune in to the radio show “Childhood Matters” this Sunday morning, February 20th.  The show is broadcast from 7 to 8AM on 98.1 KISS FM (San Francisco Bay Area).

The subject will be “The Highly Sensitive Child,” and PC co-founder Chagua Camacho-Olguin will be speaking about Project Commotion!
