Another chance to help orphans...

My son's 7th grade teacher is leaving for Eritrea & Ethiopia in October to volunteer at an orphange. Check out the information below. I made up a flier with this same information and am placing it at work (both locations) and am also emailing friends/family. It's another great opportunity if you feel you would like to help.

Want to help orphans in Ethiopia & Eritrea? Here’s your chance!

The Skyridge MS 7th grade LA/SS class is collecting supplies for orphans in Ethiopia & Eritrea. Mrs. Baldwin will take the supplies with her when she travels to various orphanages in October. This is just one of the ‘service learning’ opportunities Mrs. Baldwin & Ms. Cooper’s classes are participating in. If you would like to help, please purchase an item/items and place it/them in my box.
