Tomorrow, Friday March 6th, BMS will have their walk for the Schools Helping Schools (SHS) Service Project. Schools Helping Schools is partnering with BMS to support the Uhuru Academy Secondary School for Girls in Tigoni, Kenya. The goal of Uhuru Academy is to provide education to Kenyan students who live in extreme poverty. Many of these students are in resettlement villages due to tribal warfare and cannot afford education. Thanks to SHS, we'll be able to raise money for these girls to attend school so they can excel in the future and overcome poverty's obstacles.
Students have already had class sessions where they learned about the importance of education and why getting a full education is difficult for people who live in poverty. Students also got to Skype with Kenyan students to ask questions and meet first hand the students our donations are helping.
Join us as students get pledges from sponsors for their 3 mile walk TOMORROW (STUDENTS WEAR A JACKET) to recreate what most Kenyan students walk daily to get to school. All money raised will go towards the Uhuru Academy Secondary Schools for Girls in Kenya. As students raise money, they will have the opportunity to have their name drawn for prizes such as iPod Shuffles and Beats Headphones. Students who raise at least $50 will be in a raffle to have a limo ride to Lunch at CiCi's Pizza. Drawings will take place for all grade levels. Check out this video and access the on-line donation site to gain a visual of what our students will get to experience over the next week.
