Mazal Tov Howard Lanznar on becoming Chairman of ORT America.
Howard’s ORT story began more than 25 years ago through his wife Gail, whose leadership and dedication wove ORT into the fabric of their family life in Chicago. Having traveled the world visiting ORT schools and programs, Howard describes his family’s involvement with ORT as especially meaningful.
For Howard, ORT means empowerment through education. The importance of education and giving back are values that Howard has imparted to his children and hopes to instill in his grandchildren.

Yesterday they visited the research centre of Watergen, an innovative tech company which works to increase natural water sources using a solution which uses humidity in the air to create clean drinking water.
The Mexican students met Watergen staff and toured the facility, before presenting their own winning project.
