St Jude Fundraising Event

We are working with the Smith Foundation to plan and host a fundraising event for the School of St Jude. The event will take place in the evening on March 29 (the day before I take off for Tanzania!) and will be held at the Collaborative. We are planning to have music and food, as well as photos, St Jude website browsing available on several laptops set up around the space, and some short talks (with lots of photos).

Cindy will be talking about the history and goals of the school, as well as sharing information about the ongoing plans for future growth and instructional improvement. Freda and I will be discussing both the leadership and teacher training aspects of the work, as well as sharing information about the coming visit, and our vision for learning possibilities in the school's future. We are expecting about 100 people, should be a fun time for all, and will hopefully raise funds for buses, land, teacher salaries, or even individual sponsors for new pupils.

Haba na haba, hujaza kibaba! Little by little, we can solve this problem!

Amy,
Spent all weekend thinking about you and Freda. Sam and I finished up the leftovers we took home from the fund-raising event. (He's an African food convert!) Hope you are settling in and feeling better.
Peace,
Sherri
