Last Saturday, Ehood and Mae joined SSA's board meeting that took place June 16th in Rudan, Haninge where SSA president Ola Nordlund, treasurer Khadija Norell, and board member Nagat Abbas were present. We were told that a new branch of SSA has been formed in another part of Sweden (SSA Västra Götaland). Members of the SSA board visited the new SSA branch in Borås and Kinna. Khadija and Ola told us that they visited the Borås Zoo which was formed in connection with Sigvard Berggren bringing a lion from Sudan in the late 50's. His wife, Eva Berggren is one of the board members of the new SSA branch and she has also helped a lot with other SSA's projects. From now on Ehood will be responsible for sending out SSA's meeting protocols to the rest of the SSA-YC board. The meeting ended with a nice indoor picnic (due to the rainy weather) at Haninge's youth center located in the park.

Today a few of us board members sat down at a café to catch up on what has been happening recently concerning I Care. We discussed the most recent SSA meeting that Mae and Ehood attended. We were also filled in by Sevgi on what was going on in TUF (Turkiska Ungdomsföreningen), which is an organisation that I Care is cooperating with. In addition to this we came up with a few fun and simple ways to fundraise money to the kids considering that we are, unfortunately, not able to plan and host an event in the near future. We usually have a big event every summer but have not been able to host one this year.
We will let you in on these ideas in a very near future, so stay tuned!
TAKE CARE!
