Hannah Schawelson
1987 –2006

Hannah was a loving daughter, sister, friend and free spirit who always saw the good in people and made everyone feel special. She had a wonderful and full 19 years. She touched so many lives and did more than most people do in a lifetime.

On May 3rd 2006 we held a Memorial service for her in Scottsdale, Arizona, one of her favorite places. It was attended by friends and family from all over the world. On a moments notice, her CIS friends and teachers dropped what they were doing and came in from Melbourne, Sydney, Hong Kong, Canada and throughout the USA. It was a beautiful service and true tribute to the kind of person Hannah was.

Hannah enjoyed charity work and loved giving back to the community. Hannah spent 14 years at Chinese International School and considered it her second home. She loved it there and would want to give something back to the school. That is why we decided to set up the memorial fund at CIS.
