Update on Nicole Heydari

A report from Bill re Nicole

You might recall Nicole as the young lady who put together the Cheheltan school project in Kabul, Afghanistan (Power Point attached) in which nine of our clubs contributed to the funding.

Our first contact with Nicole was when the Houston and Humble clubs put together a District Grant to help fund her study in Vienna towards a Master’s Degree in International Studies.

During her two visits to Afghanistan with ISAF she put together that project to build class rooms for children who previously sat on the ground for classes as well as a project to supply warm clothing for children being held in prison with their mothers.

Nicole has spoken to several of our clubs and most recently spoke at the District Foundation Seminar.

Last fall she took a position with the Department of Commerce in D.C. and her first assignment was to Kabul to help start up businesses with locals.

Last night she advised me that she will be going to Istanbul in late March and Columbia in April with the Dept of Commerce AND that she has been accepted by the FBI and will be leaving her current job later this year.
