GREENFIELD, NH - During his graduation ceremony, using his Dynavox communication device, Crotched Mountain School student Miles Forma addressed friends, family and the staff as he thanked Crotched Mountain for all that was done to help him. Now, he will move on with a clear vision for his future.

Despite personal challenges with cerebral palsy, Miles presents concern and passion toward helping others less fortunate than himself. He has devoted significant time and energy between 2005 and the present facilitating fundraising events on behalf of African refugees; initially for orphans of Rwanda and more recently for refugees of the widely known genocide occurring within the Darfur region of Western Sudan. Miles has already raised nearly $7500 for his efforts as part of his passion toward educating and networking with others who share similar concerns.

In the fall of 2008 Miles will return to his home area in Westchester County, New York to begin taking courses in Fundraising and Board Development which will help prepare him for future employment with a non-governmental organization. Miles' ultimate career goal is to work with other fundraisers who share similar views toward the plight of refugees from the African nations of Rwanda and Sudan.

We invite you to listen to his inspirational graduation speech.
