Giving Tree !!!!

True story:

 

Once on a trip to visit Pfrang students, I asked, “what was the best present you got in your Giving Tree bag?”

He replied, “the Toothpaste!”

 

Help us make 325 students’ lives a little brighter. Your 100 rmb donation provides them with more than a tube of toothpaste. This year they will receive a new backpack, toiletries, hats, scarves and school supplies.

Cards are available from Jonathan, Mas and Frank in Grade 11 and Mr Romero.
