HISTORY OF THE FOUNDAtION

This foundation was created to honor the memory of Bob Pettit, Susan’s late husband. As young newlyweds, Bob worked as a teacher in Kansas and Susan worked as a nurse. Soon after, they began a new journey to discover and teach in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where they lived for over 20 years. Bob loved teaching and inspired his students that came from over 60 countries with a proverb “…if you give a man a fish you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish you feed him life time.” In return, many of Bob’s students often told him that, “Mr. Pettit, we are in school because of you”. Many of his students are now successful professionals and businessmen in many countries around the world. Bob lived and truly exemplified his life’s mission to educate young minds. This foundation was created in honor for Bob’s passion for education; through this, his legacy will live on.
