PASSAGE 1
Dear Readers and supporters,
Support for Kids Organization Inc. was formed in 2009 to help underprivileged children and orphans
around the world. Everyone wants the best for their kids, because children are our future, a future that
we hope will be better and brighter. But what about the kids who for one reason or another don’t have
loving parents, don’t have the warmth of homes and do not have the privilege to be taken care of by a
family and must live in an orphanage?
Every kid deserves normal living conditions, happiness, love and care. The better their life is, the more
hope of building a brighter future for them and all of us.
So please, we are asking for your help and support for kids in Georgian orphanages. We will be able to
offer that help with your generous support. We are a small organization that keeps overhead to the very
minimum help directly to the kids. With your help, we will continue to do our best to help the kids!
For those who have already been one of us, we are very fortunate to have you as our friends and
supporters, and none of our accomplishments would have been possible without you, without your
continued support and trust.
Sincerely,
Ani Morrow
Founder of Support for Kids Organization Inc.

Dear Students,
I invite you to explore Philips Exeter Academy through this website – www.exeter.edu. Browse through
the different offerings of Exeter – from the many cultural events hosted on campus, to the hundreds of
courses we offer, and on to the involved and experienced faculty. See what the lives of students are like.

Whether it’s English or mathematics, at Exeter we call all our classes Harkness classes and our teachers
Harkness teachers. Harkness identifies a table you will find at the center of every class both literally and
figuratively. Harkness tables are oval and seat a dozen students and a teacher, but they are much more
than a place to sit. At the Harkness table classmates learn by discussing their thoughts and ideas rather
than just by taking notes. Teachers are participants in the discussion, guiding students in significant
ways without lecturing.
On this website, we’ve tried to make it easy for you to find what you need. For new or prospective
students, look at the Admissions, Academics, and Student Life sections of the site. For parents, check
the information under the Parent ‘gateway’ located at the top of the page – this gateway provides you
with a short list of items of interest to you. we’ll keep this page updated with items we know concern
parents. For current students, look everywhere – this website is about you and your Exeter experience.
I invite you to let us know what you think of the website. In true Harkness learning fashion, we’re
always listening, always looking for the questions that get us to the really important answers.
You can contact me directly via e-mail or phone: 603-777-3401
