The DeCouto Group International has become a supporter of Icon
International Foundation in an effort to assist IIF in its efforts to
develop Icon Villages and other projects geared to change the lives and
in some cases, save the lives of American youth as well as others.
The DeCouto Group's International Mission is to promote education
to prevent Bullying, Cyber Safety, Child Vulnerability to Child
Predators, and more.
Paul DeCouto President of DeCouto Group has determined the mutual
support of our combined Missions could be crucial to untold numbers
of children and youth. For this reason the DeCouto Group
International has thrown the full support of its international company
behind Icon International Foundation.
"Thank You, DeCouto Group International"
| Visionscope This new program for Icon International Foundation is structured to educate as many of the 12 Million Americans of all ages from children to seniors as possible, suffering from such as Macular Degeneration, and other deceases slowly causing grave vision difficulties and blindness. The program provides up-to-date material on related technology, latest research and medical break-through. The project strives to assist people in retaining their independence. Mr. Harold D. Blethen volunteers his time as Director and Coordinator for this program. Mr. Blethen also suffers from Macular Degeneration. For more information on this, please return to our Home Page and press the Visionscope button. Mr. Blethen is seeking other volunteers with interest in this field to become Area Directors in N. Nevada towns. Blethen hopes this program may later be expanded into other states. |
