Helping Hands Fair

This year Deana Washell's 3rd grade class at Easterly Parkway Elementary in State College is partnering with the Urukundo school on a water-themed classroom project. They also stepped up to help raise money for a water tank for 4th grade classes in Rwanda. It's called, "A Drop in the Bucket Campaign."

They kicked off their fundraising efforts at the school's Helping Hands Fair Feb 3rd. This annual event exposes children to needs in the community and opportunities to serve. Many local organizations were represented as well as our international project in Rwanda, Africa...Hope Made Real.

The kids made a long poster for the display. They took home flyers to share with their parents. Lanie brought in beads for kids to make jewelry. And Anna raised $65 from her birthday and Christmas. The kids were great marketers at the fair as they shared about raising money for the water tank. Deana's class plans to roll it out school-wide and encourage all the classes to participate.
