Our Institute survives only with solid support from abroad. Without the help that we receive from ARCI, for example, we would not have had the resources to build and operate our computer lab and, thanks to the generosity of the American Overseas School of Rome, we can offer Geisiel\u2019s immensely successful drawing courses. In order to gather our forces in Italy, ICBIE Europe was founded as an official Italian NGO, and as soon as the Italian government gets around to paying our 0.5% share of our friends\u2019 tax returns, we will have a solid font of income.<\/p>\n

For the last four years, we have attempted to coerce our American friends to create a parallel NGO in the United States, but, until now, the formidable bureaucratic obstacles of such a venture proved to be stronger than the resolve of our supporters. This has caused us to lose important donations, because in the States people expect to write them off on their taxes, and without a registered organization, that is impossible.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, last spring the ICBIE\u2019s proverbial good luck kicked in. Out of the blue, an amazing email from an AOSR graduate (Class of 2001) named Ariell Kirylo announced her intention of founding an American NGO to support the ICBIE. From that moment, she has raced forward, sprinting over all the legal hurdles in record time, forming a Board of Trustees, registering her new organization in Alexandria, Virginia and completing the paperwork as an official 501(c)3. Through this complicated process she was guided by her mentor, Gety Mpanu-Mpanu, a native of the Democratic Republic of Congo and former chairman of the Organization NDWENGA for the Education of the People (ONEP) (http:\/\/csndwenga.org\/<\/a>), working in Kinshasa, who graciously consented to join with Ariell, taking on the chairmanship of the new organization, IMA Generation (www.imageneration.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n

IMA (which stands for \u201cInspire, Motivate, Act\u201d) has for mission \u201cto make schools in poverty-stricken regions of the world the source of social, cultural and economic growth for their local communities\u201d and will begin by supporting ICBIE and NDWENGA, as well as initiating an exciting program of youth activities in Alexandria. For more information, and to follow their developments, check out the IMA Generation page on Facebook.<\/p>\n

In order to help the fledgling organization to succeed, we would like to appeal to all our American friends and supporters: please get acquainted with these great people and spread the word to your friends<\/p>\n

E alla fine, uno stretto legame con gli U.S.A.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Il nostro Istituto sopravvive solo grazie al consolidato sostegno dall’estero.\u00a0 Senza l’aiuto che riceviamo dall\u00b4ARCI, per esempio, non avremmo avuto le risorse per la creazione ed il funzionamento del nostro laboratorio di informatica e, grazie alla generosit\u00e0 dell’American Overseas School of Rome, non avremmo realizzato il corso di disegno di Geisiel che ha riscosso tanto successo. Per accrescere le nostre forze in Italia, l’ICBIE Europa \u00e8 diventata una ONG ufficiale e appena il governo italiano liberer\u00e0 il pagamento del nostro 0,5% delle dichiarazioni dei redditi dei nostri amici, avremo una solida fonte di guadagno.<\/p>\n

Negli ultimi quattro anni, abbiamo cercato di convincere i nostri amici americani a creare una ONG parallela negli USA, ma, fin ora, i formidabili ostacoli burocratici di una s\u00edmile impresa si sono rivelati pi\u00f9 forti della volont\u00e0 dei nostri sostenitori. Tutto ci\u00f3 ci ha costretti a perdere donazioni sostanziose, perch\u00e9 negli USA le persone sono abituate a dedurre dalle tasse le donazioni effettuate, ma senza una organizzazione ufficialmente registrata, questo non \u00e8 possibile.<\/p>\n

Fortunatamente, la scorsa primavera la proverbiale fortuna dell\u00b4ICBIE \u00e8 arrivata. E\u2019 piombato dal cielo una stupefacente mail di una alunna formatasi alla AOSR (classe 2001), di nome Ariell Kirylo, che annunciava la sua intenzione di fondare una ONG Americana per sostenere l’ICBIE. Da quel momento, Ariell ha cominciato la sua corsa, superando tutti gli ostacoli giuridici a tempo di record, costituendo um Consiglio di Amministrazione, registrando la sua nuova organizzazione ad Alexandria, Virginia e completando la prattica per diventare un ufficiale ente 501(c)3 non-profit per le tasse americane. Ariell \u00e8 stata sostenuta, attraverso questo complicato processo, dal suo mentore, Gety Mpanu-Mpanu, nativo della Repubblica Democratica del Congo, presidente dell’Organizzazione NDWENGA per l\u00b4Educazione delle Popolazioni (ONEP), (http:\/\/csndwenga.org\/<\/a>), che ha lavorato a Kinshasa e che ha gentilmente acconsentito a unirsi ad Ariell, assumendo la presidenza della nuova organizzazione, IMA Generation (www.imageneration.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n

IMA (che sta per \u201cInspire, Motivate, Act\u201d \u2013 \u201cispirazione, motivazione, azione\u201d) ha come missione \u201crendere la scuola, nelle regioni povere del mondo, la fonte di crescita sociale, culturale ed economica delle loro comunit\u00e1 locali\u201d e comincer\u00e1 sostenendo l\u00b4ICBIE e NDWENGA, nonch\u00e9 avviando gi\u00e1 un eccitante programma di attivit\u00e1 per i giovani ad Alexandria. Per maggiori informazioni, e per seguire i futuri sviluppi, procurate la pagina IMA Generation su Facebook.<\/p>\n

Per aiutare la neonata organizzazione ad avere successo, vorremmo chiedere a tutti i nostri amici e sostenitori americani: per favore entrate in contatto con queste persone e diffondete la voce presso i vostri amici!

Finalmente, uma rela\u00e7\u00e3o estreita com os E.U.A.<\/p>\n

O nosso Instituto sobrevive s\u00f3 gra\u00e7as ao forte suporte do exterior. Sem ajuda que recebemos da Arci, por exemplo, n\u00f3s n\u00e3o poder\u00edamos realizar e fazer funcionar o laborat\u00f3rio de inform\u00e1tica, e gra\u00e7as a generosidade da American Overseas School of Rome, n\u00f3s n\u00e3o ter\u00edamos oferecido o curso de desenho do Geisel que faz tanto sucesso. Para acrescentar a nossa for\u00e7a na It\u00e1lia, o ICBIE Europa virou uma ONG oficial e quando o governo italiano ir\u00e1 liberar o pagamento dos nossos 0,5% das declara\u00e7\u00f5es de imposto dos nossos amigos, teremos uma fonte s\u00f3lida de renda.<\/p>\n

Nos \u00faltimos quatros anos, tentamos estimular nossos amigos americanos para criar uma ONG paralela nos EUA, mas, at\u00e9 agora, os dif\u00edceis obst\u00e1culos burocr\u00e1ticos de tal processo foram mais fortes que a vontade dos nossos sustentadores. Assim perdemos muitas doa\u00e7\u00f5es porque nos EUA as pessoas s\u00e3o acostumadas a deduzir dos impostos de renda essas doa\u00e7\u00f5es, mas sem uma organiza\u00e7\u00e3o registrada isso n\u00e3o \u00e9 poss\u00edvel.<\/p>\n

Felizmente, no in\u00edcio desse ano recebemos uma esperan\u00e7osa not\u00edcia. Chegou de inesperado um surpreendente e-mail de uma aluna formada na AOSR (no 2001), chamada Ariell Kirylo, que anunciou a sua inten\u00e7\u00e3o de constituir uma ONG Americana para apoiar o ICBIE. Desde aquele momento, Ariell correu atr\u00e1s, superou todos os obst\u00e1culos jur\u00eddicos em tempo Record, constituiu um conselho de Administra\u00e7\u00e3o, cadastrou a nova organiza\u00e7\u00e3o em Alexandria, Virginia, e completou o papel para se tornar uma entidade oficial 501(c) 3 no \u2013 profit para o sistema de taxas americano. Atrav\u00e9s desse complicado procedimento, ela foi ajudada pelo seu mentor, Gety Mpanu-Mpanu, nascido na Republica Democr\u00e1tica do Congo, presidente da Organiza\u00e7\u00e3o NDWENGA para a Educa\u00e7\u00e3o das Popula\u00e7\u00f5es (ONEP) (http:\/\/csndwenga.org<\/a>\/<\/a>), que trabalhou em Kinshasa e que amavelmente concordou em se juntar com Ariell, assumindo a presid\u00eancia da nova Organiza\u00e7\u00e3o, IMA Generation (www.imageneration.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n

IMA (que significa \u201c\u201cInspire, Motivate, Act\u201d \u2013 \u201cInspira\u00e7\u00e3o, motiva\u00e7\u00e3o. A\u00e7\u00e3o\u201d) tem como miss\u00e3o \u201cfazer da escola, nas regi\u00f5es pobres do mundo, a fonte de desenvolvimento social, cultural e econ\u00f4mico das comunidades locais\u201d e vai come\u00e7ar sustentando o ICBIE e a NDWENGA, assim como iniciando um excitante programa de atividades para os jovens em Alexandria. Para maiores informa\u00e7\u00f5es e para conhecer o desenvolvimentos desta iniciativa, procurem a pagina IMA Generation no Facebook.<\/p>\n

Para ajudar a rec\u00e9m nascida organiza\u00e7\u00e3o a ter mais sucesso, n\u00f3s queremos pedir a todos os nossos amigos e sustentadores americanos: por favor, entrem em contato com essas pessoas e difundam a noticia com vossos amigos!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
