C.S. 211's participates in Penny Harvest

Our friends at C.S. 211 in the Bronx, led by Library teacher Rick Feldman, are participating in Penny Harvest, a Program of Common Cents. The premise of the program is that adults are not the only ones who can serve, students can, too. In the aftermath of the earthquake, Common Cents created Global Relief Fund: Haiti Recover and Rebuild. Rick sent The Action Guide for Student Leaders which is well worth your time.

École le Bon Samaritain is one of the four recipients of the fund raising. The others are Konbit Pou Edikasyon, Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees, & Clean Water for Haiti. What an incredible honor to be selected by Common Cents and to share this opportunity to teach American children about Haiti, the Haitian people and the challenges facing Haiti. 


Next Friday, March 26th, some of the Good Samaritan coordinators and volunteers plan to attend the Power Library and Reading Aloud Project at the school. It will give us a chance to meet and thank the students and teachers of C.S. 211.


Here are some folks from Rick Feldman's school.
