The chance to do something so meaningful stuck with me. My 14-year-old son, Owen will be joining me on this adventure. We are both working with our schools to create fundraisers for donated supplies as well as monetary donations for textbooks. 6th grade students at my school study Tanzania all year long as part of their social studies curriculum. How cool would it be to get the students involved in collecting supplies, then being able to see the faces of the kids they were helping!
In approximately 14 weeks, Owen and I will join Cathy Robinson Pickett and the wonderful group from Friends-Together and be on our way. While that seems very far away, there is so much to do to get ready that it's a bit overwhelming! This week I want to secure our fundraiser at school. Mrs. Creech came up with a fantastic idea with her social studies classes which can really make an impact. We just need to put it in motion. The idea of working with the students at Squadron Line to bring much-needed textbooks, educational and recreational supplies to the kids in Tanzania is very exciting! LET'S DO THIS!!
