Raising funds for Africa
A group of 7th grade students at North Middle School in Belleville are
going to sponsor the building of a well for a village in the Sub-Saharan
region. The students are trying to raise $3,500, enough money to build the
well and educate the recipients on its use.
The initiative was started by two 7th grade teachers, Ron Hoepfner and
Steve Hudock, as part of a cross-curricular unit on Africa. "This program is
a great opportunity for students to take on a leadership role within their
community while raising money for a worthwhile cause," said Hudock.
Students and teachers are partnering with The African Well Fund (AWF), a
non-profit organization dedicated to building and maintaining wells in
water-sparse regions in Africa. Once the students raise enough funds, AWF
will drill, install and help to maintain the well.
Students are participating in a variety of fund-raising activities
including a spaghetti dinner to be held on April 24 from 5:30-7 p.m. at
North Middle School. There is a suggested donation of $3 to attend the
dinner.
Donations can also be sent to North Middle School c/o Steve Hudock, 47097
McBride St, Belleville, MI 48111 by May 9. For more information, contact
Steve Hudock at (734)-697-9171 ext. 219 or at
