IFSI-USA Summer Program Celebration
While the IFSI-USA Summer Program has always been synonymous with success over the years, the 2024 edition exceeded all expectations, both in terms of the scale of participation and the wealth of activities offered to children and young people. This triumph, the result of the combined efforts of dedicated leaders such as Jennifer Pamphile, Sylviane Louis-Jeune, Monica Benoit, Ethan Michell, Maestro Marc Palmers Mercier, as well as the unwavering support of music and creative arts teachers and Youth Leaders, found its full expression during the closing ceremony this Sunday, August 11, 2024, at the Tech Boston Academy
More than ever, the enthusiasm of children and young people for this program testified to its growing impact in the community. Their performances in music and dance reached new heights, drawing admiration from parents, teachers, spectators and even representatives of the City of Boston. Dr. Geralde V. Gabeau, Executive Director of IFSI-USA, praised the team for their outstanding work, giving them well-deserved compliments, while parents and guests in attendance gave them a standing ovation.This is how this summer adventure, full of discoveries and unforgettable moments, came to an end for more than 250 immigrant children enrolled in the 2024 summer program. This program offered the young people an experience that was both educational and recreational, with varied activities such as nature hikes, outdoor games, musical explorations and sports. These activities not only stimulated their creativity and strengthened their self-confidence, but also encouraged sharing and the creation of friendships. In short, the program was a real success, transforming each day into a new joyful and enriching adventure.
Until next summer, IFSI-USA remains committed to continuing its mission, by creating spaces where each child can flourish, develop their talents, discover new passions, build lasting relationships, and prepare for success in their future.
