An Evening of Celebration in Recognition<br />
of Achievement 2018<br />
On<br />
Thursday 10th January <strong>2019</strong> <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
Community College held its annual<br />
awards evening at the Riverside venue in Bath Road.<br />
This high profile evening, ably led and hosted by our<br />
Student Leadership team, attended by staff, invited<br />
guests from the world of Education and Business,<br />
members of the Academy Trust Board, students<br />
past and present and parents, is an opportunity to<br />
recognise the achievements of students and members<br />
of the wider community connected with <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
during the academic year 2018.<br />
Each year we invite a distinguished guest speaker<br />
to present the awards. This year we were delighted<br />
to welcome Dave Fortier, founder of the One World<br />
Strong Foundation, to join us for the evening.<br />
112<br />
Dave is a survivor of the 2013 Boston Marathon<br />
bombings. He was running his very first marathon<br />
to help support a dear friend dealing with cancer<br />
when he was injured by the first bomb. Though he<br />
suffered shrapnel wounds and hearing loss, he has<br />
since gone on to run 10 additional marathons in<br />
Boston, Paris, New York, Florida and Washington,<br />
DC. Dave’s passion for helping other survivors<br />
of terror and trauma eventually led him to found<br />
the One World Strong Foundation, where he now<br />
serves as President. One World Strong’s mission<br />
is to establish a vibrant international community<br />
of survivors of terrorism, hate crimes, or traumatic<br />
events that provides peer-to-peer, support and<br />
mentoring to anyone impacted by these events.<br />
Dave works with survivor groups across the world<br />
including groups in Manchester, Somalia, Jordan,<br />
Canada, France, London and the US. In his keynote<br />
speech Dave shared with us his experience, how it<br />
changed his life and his hopes for the future.<br />
During the course of the evening we were entertained<br />
by 3 music performances. “The Future”, performed<br />
by Leroy Eshan, supported by Asta Dias, Ayan<br />
Modi, Corben Smith & Mikael Sohal. “I Don’t<br />
want you Back” performed by Lulliya Jemal, vocals<br />
and piano, supported by Oliwia Dabrowska, Asta<br />
Dias & Helena Alves De Campos and an original<br />
composition written and performed by Leroy Ehsan<br />
supported by, Aman Vilkhou, Uthistan Sritharan<br />
& Aryan Modi entitled “Raised By My Mum”.<br />
In addition, the Shakespeare in Schools company<br />
performed a stunning extract from “King Lear”.<br />
The highlight of the evening is always the awards<br />
where we hear wonderful stories of overcoming<br />
personal challenges and achievements. Three<br />
Special Awards were presented in addition to the<br />
academic awards; Firstly, the Pride of <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
Award given to Abdannur Djebri (year 10) for his<br />
