Two weeks ago F.J. McElligott High School had a dinner at a local restaurant in Mattawa where the school is located. The students helped out in the kitchen and with the serving. They also had a silent auction with items from Kenya. This small high school has done a wonderful job of fundraising for our team over the past few years. They are led by a young vibrant teacher named Chris Davis and she motivated the students to help out through one class each year. This year it was a grade 10 class and they have raised almost $2000.00 between a couple of small fundraisers and their big dinner. In the past two years they have raised almost $5000.00 which has helped build an elementary school in Kolongolo Village in Kenya. Asante Sana, (thank you in Swahili) to all of you.
Some of the students who helped at the dinner are pictured above with Sandy.
