Annual Report 2013 FUNDAŢIA SCHEHERAZADE Raport Anual - Annual Report 2013 FUNDAŢIA SCHEHERAZADE Mesajul Preşedintelui În momentul în care scriu acest raport pentru anul 2013 realizez cât de repede a trecut timpul și am ajuns să facem un sumar al activității anuale puțin prea repede! A fost un an plin de activitate și foarte multă muncă pregătitoare, care ne va ajuta mult în viitor. Am organizat o serie de activități de strângeri de fonduri pentru Spitalul de Copii Sf. Maria din Iași pentru a achiziționa echipamente medicale ce vor fi instalate cam într-o lună de zile. Pe lângă asta ne-am concentrat eforturile pe partea de dialog intercultural și am participat la o masă rotundă organizată de către Președintele Senatului și E.S. Cristian David, Ministrul Delegat pentru Românii de Pretutindeni. Tema dezbătută a avut ca punct de plecare toleranța și multiculturalismul. Conferința a fost urmată de o recepție găzduită de către Fundația Scheherazade în parteneriat cu Ministerul Afacerilor Externe, iar la această recepție au participat peste 300 de persoane din partea Corpului Diplomatic, sectorul public și privat. Am avut onoarea de a-l avea prezent pe E.S. Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser – Înaltul Reprezentant ONU pentru Alianța Civilizațiilor care s-a aflat într-o vizită oficială în România. Gala noastră anuală a avut un succes extraordinar, și s-a desfășurat la Reședința Ambasadorului Republicii Federale Germania E.S. Andreas von Mettenheim. Mulți oaspeți au participat la acest eveniment, inclusiv Primul Ministru al României E.S. Victor Ponta și soția dumnealui doamna Daciana Sârbu. Am început un proiect nou prin care încercăm să ajutăm refugiații care au ajuns în România din diferite zone de conflict. Acest proiect se desfășoara în parteneriat cu Ministerul Afacerilor Interne prin interme- diul Inspectoratului General pentru Imigrări. Fundația a identificat un grup de voluntari care colectează diferite fonduri și donează alimente și haine pentru aceste persoane care de asemenea au și mulți copii. Am inclus în acest raport anual multe poze și am menționat activitățile și campaniile inițiate de Fundație în acest an. Am desfășurat activități atât pe plan local cât și național și am participat la numeroase conferințe internaționale. În încheiere aș dori să-mi exprim gratitudinea față de toate instituțiile publice din România precum și donatorilor din cadrul sectorului privat pentru sprijinul continuu care ne-a ajutat să ne indeplinim misiunea. Wajiha Haris Preşedinte al Fundaţiei Scheherazade THE SCHEHERAZADE FOUNDATION Message from the President As I write this report for 2013, it feels that the year passed really fast and I am summing up the annual activity a bit too soon! It was a year of lot of action and a lot of preparatory work, which will go a long way to help us in the future. We hosted fundraising campaigns for Sf. Maria children’s hospital in Iasi to buy medical equipment. I am happy to report that it will be installed in a month’s time. In addition, we scaled up our efforts on intercultural dialogue and participated in a roundtable organized by the president of the senate and H.E Cristian David, the minister delegate for Romanians Abroad. The theme centered on Tolerance and Multiculturalism. The conference was followed by a reception hosted by Scheherazade foundation in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was attended by over 300 people from Diplomatic corp., private and public sector. We had the honor of the presence of H.E Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser – High representative of United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) who was on an official visit to Romania. Our annual gala was a great success, which was held at the residence of the ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany H.E Andreas von Mettenheim. Many guests attended it from different walks of life including the Prime Minister of Romania H.E Victor Ponta and his wife Mrs. Daciana Sarbu. We have started a new project on helping the refugees who have come to Romania from various conflict zones. This project is in partnership with the Ministry of Interior through the General Inspectorate of Immigration. The foundation has a group of volunteers who collect funds and donate food items and clothing for these people, which includes a lot of children. I have included a lot of photos in this report and have listed all the activities and the campaigns that the foundation launched this year. We initiated activities locally and nationally and participated internationally in various conferences. Lastly my gratitude to all Romanian public institutions and donors from the private sector for their continuous support to achieve our mission.

HQ05X00542 QUEEN’S BENCH DIVISION B E T W E E N PRINCE RADU OF HOHENZOLLERN Claimant - and – (1) MARCO HOUSTON (2) SENA-JULIA PUBLICATUS LIMITED Defendants ___________________________________________________ STATEMENT IN OPEN COURT ___________________________________________________ Counsel for the Claimant (James Price QC) My Lord, I appear on behalf of the Claimant, Prince Radu of Romania. My friend appears on behalf of the Defendants. The First Defendant, Marco Houston, is the editor of Royalty Monthly magazine, and he is also a director of the Second Defendant, Sena- Julia Publicatus Limited, which publishes Royalty Monthly. On 17 September 2004 the Defendants published an article in Royalty Monthly, under the heading ‘Scandal in Romania as Princess Margarita’s husband is branded an imposter’. In the article the Defendants alleged that there was a very strong case against the Claimant that he was dishonestly claiming to have been granted the title “Prinz von Hohenzollern-Veringen” by Friedrich Wilhelm Furst von Hohenzollern (“the Furst”), the Head of the Hohenzollern family, and that he was relying on a forged document to support his claims. They also alleged that, as a result of his actions, the Claimant was deceiving people into according him access to social circles and to particular official roles, including to NATO committees, to which he would otherwise not PCR1-489576.2 be admitted, and that he was using the title for monetary gain. In addition, the Defendants alleged that there was a strong case that the Claimant had created a security risk because what he had done had exposed him to blackmail.

    December 2020 www.society4romanianstudies.org Vol 42 Fall 2020 No. 3 (Special Edition) coedited by Leah Valtin-Erwin and Maria Bucur Obituary…………………………………………..…………………………….2 Eulogy………………………………………………..………………………….3 Biographical and Professional Information…………..…….…….5 In Memoriam……………………………………………………...………..10 Bibliography…………………………………………………………….…...24 1 Obituary Keith Hitchins (Thursday, April 2nd, 1931 - Sunday, November 1st, 2020) passed away, aged 89, at the Carle Foundation Hospital on November 1, 2020 from natural causes. He was an historian, stamp and coin aficionado, treasurer of archives, specialized book collector, avid correspondent, and a language passionate whose work drew on an encyclopedic knowledge of the Eastern world, from Central and Eastern Europe to Central Asia and Southeast Asia, but who remained at heart a Romanian historian. He was a professor of Eastern European History at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 1967 until 2019 when he retired. Hitchins was born in Schenectady, NY to Henry, a business ads writer, and Lillian Turrian, a homemaker related to the Vanderbilt family. His maternal great-parents descended from German- and French- speaking areas in Switzerland, while his father was of English ancestry. Living at the peak of a great passion for politics among the Americans, Keith grew up in a union family, recollecting gatherings on holidays when he was mindful not to offend the sensibilities of his grandmother, a Republican state committeewoman, and those of his grandfather, an organizer of a steel union. He was sent to a grade school that taught kindergarten to twelfth grade in a building with only two rooms in rural New York, at a time when the centralization of schools was underway, and parents didn't value education.
