RAISING FUNDS AND AWARENESS - This year, students at St. Michael's School spent time raising awareness about water issues throughout the world.
Community Service members learned about water shortages in different countries as well as the effects of not having clean water available in a community.
Thanks to Free the Children, students organized two campaigns in order to raise money and awareness on this issue in the school community. They collected change from all classes for the We Create Change campaign throughout the year. In April several students took a vow of silence for a day as a way to support those children around the world whose rights are being denied.
Students also organized activities to raise money such as an indoor soccer tournament and board game lunch hours during the cold days of January. They sold Rafiki Water Chains as a way to raise money for clean water projects as well as supporting women in Kenya in their small jewellery businesses.
A total of $3,617.00 was raised this school year by St. Michael's School and these funds will go to support water projects in Ghana.
