I want to thank FIGT for publishing Aramco ExPats and me in their PROFILES IN TRANSITION page for February.

Have you seen the Families In Global Transition, Inc. website? As their mission states "Our MISSION is to support the family and their organizations to accomplish the assignment. We provide strategic resources for families and individuals who live, move, and work throughout the world."

Over the past few years we have advertised their events including the upcoming Struggles/Successes of Expatriate Families and publishing articles on Third Culture Kids.

Hi Everyone,

Saudi Aramco Schools currently graduates around 100 TCK’s annually.

Many of the kids go on to boarding schools in N America. Most interesting is, we have been doing this since 1947.

To document this experience, we have been working on a video documentary of the Saudi Aramco TCK experience (through the kids perspective).

We thought perhaps you might appreciate some of the perspectives that we are capturing from our young people.

Please take a look at our project web site which includes video clips of other Aramco happenings.

There are additional TCK clips that will also become available should you see an interest.

We will be interviewing our group of returning students and current 9th grade graduates this June.

We would be happy to incorporate any questions or input for your research if there is an interest.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Warmest Regards
