One Voice

Proud of our students this weekend who participated in our Poverty Revolution weekend.  They learned that because they have a voice it is critical for them to speak up for those who don’t.  To make people aware of social justice issues and to actually try to do something about it.  Our students over the last 40 days have worked to raise funds and awareness for such causes as: AIDS, Clean Water, Human Trafficking, Homelessness, Hunger and Fair Trade.  During the last 40 days they raised $4200 which last night was donated to World Vision as they selected items that were important to them.  Here is what they were able to do.

• They built a traditional well that will help 150 get clean and safe drinking water.
• They provided mosquito nets for 25 families to help keep them safe from Malaria.
• They micro financed 3 woman to help them start a better life dependent on no one.
• They provided $2100 worth of medicine for a clinic in desperate need.
• They provided education for 2 orphans to give them a chance to get out.
• They provided a farmer with a foot pump to irrigate his farm.
• They provided safety to two girls who will escape sex trade.

It’s amazing when you think that one person can do something but when everyone works together you can do something amazing.
