.: Thirty Days to Make a Difference :.
Sunday, January 31, 2010
The students & faculty of E.T. Richardson Middle School would like to make a difference this year by reaching out to children living in the slums of Soweto near the city of Nairobi in Kenya. There, in Soweto, is a place called the Hope Bright Future School. HBF provides an education and a healthy lunch for children living on the fringe of society. Without HBF these children would face a grim future. Our goal is to partner with Transformed International an NGO and registered nonprofit organization that assists HBF through its Soweto School Project.
How much does it cost for a child to attend the Hope Bright Future School in Soweto? For just $100.00 a year children receive a uniform, education. In addition students are served a healthy meal each day.
Our goal is to make sure 50 students can attend HBF. To do this we will need to raise $5000.00 which amounts to about $5.00 per student attending E.T. Richardson Middle School. Beginning February 1, 2009 the E.T. Richardson Middle School community is going to dedicate 30 days to make a difference for the children of Soweto. During this time we will hold events to generate awareness and raise money toward our goal.
