deVaca 6th Grade Boys - Community Service Project

On Friday, March 4th our living group presented our community service project at the school assembly. Adrian Lopez, our representative on the project, addressed the entire school and briefly explained our objectives. Basically, we are collecting basic health, hygiene, and school supplies to be delivered directly to the people of Cuba through an organization called Fundacion Amistad. Due to Department of Education regulations, we will not be able to collect controlled substances such as asprin, advil, or children's vitamins. However, we will be asking parents, students and teachers to donate bandages, alcohol pads, surgical gloves, toothbrushes, inexpensive sunglasses, dental floss, pens, pencils, and notebooks. All items must be sealed in original packaging. We plan on developing the list of things to donate at a later date. If you have any questions please contact me by email ebattey@archimedesacademy.org For more information please visit fundacionamistad.org
