Students Helping Students raises funds for impoverished school


As part of the Students Helping Students program, students of the American Nicaraguan School held a fundraiser at their school's annual Kermesse. The group's aim is to raise funds in order to provide an impoverished school in Managua with school supplies, desks, and a better infrastructure (including clean water, a bathroom, and better classrooms).

The fundraiser consisted of a small blow-up swimming pool filled with plastic balls. Each ball had a tiny sticker on it. The ONE plastic ball with a red apple sticker on it was the key to winning an iPod.

By the end of the event, they had raised c$3,400!
