Jeanne Corwin is the president and owner of Coresco, a promotional marketing corporation located in Monroe, SC.In 1982, Jeanne became a believer and, at that time, decided to dedicate her business in fulfillment of her faith.
Soon after, Jeanne traveled to Israel for the first time.From the moment she stepped on the ground at Ben Gurion Airport, she knew that her destiny was inextricably tied to Israel.As she stood on the Mount of Olives, overlooking Jerusalem, she prayed for the opportunity to use Coresco in the restoration of the people of Israel.
Over the years Coresco and Corwin have been involved in helping Israeli firms market their goods in the U.S..In addition, Corwin has made numerous trips to Israel, both for pleasure and as a tour leader showing other believers what Israel can mean to them.
It was only natural, therefore, when CFOIC approached Jeanne in 1996 about adopting a settlement, that she would embrace the idea wholeheartedly.She took a special liking to Barkan, perhaps because of its proximity to the largest industrial park in Samaria, of the same name.They formed an adoption committee and began corresponding with settlement representatives.They exchanged e-mails, photographs and got to know one another.

One year later, Jeanne Corwin, Debby Franklin and Sara Jo Burns visited Barkan where they visited the park that had been built with Coresco's gift, complete with a plaque in their name.

In June of this year, Jeanne visited Barkan with a tour group of college students and young adults.They visited with Barkan families and renewed acquaintances from previous visits.Corwin made sure not to come empty-handed and presented their adopted community with another generous gift, this time for a music power amplifier.They left the community with such a warm feeling - of a connection nurtured and a strong friendship.
