FOWZIA ADDE
As executive director of the Immigrant Development Center in Fargo,
Fowzia Adde draws from her own experiences to help and inspire immigrants,
refugees, and women in the community. After leaving her homeland of
Mogadishu when war broke out, she worked as nurse with the United Nations
before settling in Fargo. The outspoken and charismatic leader of the
immigrant community shares her story of survival, the steadfastness
of
the human spirit, and how the experience of rebuilding in a new country
has enriched her life.
JOHN MARKS
Early in his teaching career, John Marks discovered theatre as a vehicle
for tapping into the creative spirits of his students. His dramatic
flair and vision led John to help found the Trollwood Performing Arts
School (TPAS) thirty years ago. Now, as the program gets ready to move
to its new location in Moorhead, John remains as committed as ever to
the cause, calling the future TPAS a “Dream Garden.” Step
into the vibrant foliage of John’s world to peek at the amazing
scenes in store for nature lovers, sports enthusiasts, business owners,
community organizations and, last but not least, the artistic community
of F-M.
"GIVING A DAMN ABOUT DESIGN"
- ARCHITECTURE FOR HUMANITY
Two young local associate architects, Rebecca Molldrem and Tia Thomas,
started a Fargo chapter of Architecture for Humanity two years ago.
It’s part of an international humanitarian group focused on the
idea that sustainable architecture and design can actively change and
improve lives. During the past nine years the international organization
has engaged the creative skills of more than 9,000 architects and designers
to help provide shelter for victims of natural disasters and wars. Their
motto: “Design Like You Give a Damn.” So far the Fargo chapter
has focused its efforts on offering pro bono design services to local
non-profits, efforts that have made an incredible impact in the community.
JUAN MONDRAGON
Juan and Annele Mondragon, owners of Juano’s,
added a new restaurant, John Alexander’s, to their burgeoning
empire. Tennis, a belt-sander, artistry, and a donkey-like work ethic
mark the origins of their kingdom. Add a tablespoon of humor and this
simple credo: Everyday is Monday.
