A reception celebrating World of Children’s 25th Anniversary, featuring Arwa Damon, Founder of INARA shared her experience in Ukraine and other war-torn regions. Over the past 25 years, one of World of Children’s most memorable discoveries was an organization called INARA – short for International Network for Aid, Relief and Assistance. Arwa Damon is a multi-award-winning journalist and founder. World of Children is able to support and fund INARA, which works with children from conflict areas who have suffered physical and mental harm and have no other hope for care. The event was attended by Ari Leibowitz, Kerrie Smith, Vivian Glyck, Molly Eldredge, Stephanie Brown, Shawn McQueen, Bob Doede, Kate OShaughnessy Mitchell, Haida Mojdehi, Melissa Mani, and Bridget Musante, among others, celebrating a legacy of supporting children in need worldwide.
