RoadtoSchool is continuing the Spring Fundraiser into July! Below is the article regarding the fundraiser published in a local newspaper, the Campus Resident.
-------------------------------------------- The RoadtoSchool Club Club creates opportunity for local students to support and promote girls’ education in developing countries Judy Hyojoo Rhee Student,University Hill Secondary School President of the RoadtoSchool Club I became interested in girls’ education after reading the book I Am Malala, authored by Malala Yousafzai, the well-known human rights activist, and in 2017 I founded the RoadtoSchool student club at University Hill Secondary School to support and promote girls’ education in developing countries. Every year, the club organizes fundraising events, such as the Krispy Kreme Donut sale and the Book and Clothing Drive, and increases awareness through discussions and workshops. Our club sends all donations from our fundraisers to a local non-profit organization, One Girl Can, and the money goes towards the tuition fees of female high school students in Africa. Our club is continuing the Spring Fundraiser in the UNA community into the month of July, as the amount of donations we have collected does not yet meet the target amount needed to pay the one-year tuition fees for two high school students in Kenya, Sarah and Kavutha. We still need about $600 to reach our goal. If you would like to make a contribution and positively and tangibly change the lives of Sarah and Kavutha, please visit the RoadtoSchool website (roadtoschool.weebly.com) and leave a message through the contact form.

The RoadtoSchool Club will be hosting a clothing drive from June 19th to 21st (Tuesday to Thursday) at lunch next to the school store. Bring those items of clothing that you don't wear anymore and receive a piece of candy for each item you donate!
All clothing will be donated to SOS Children's Village Thrift Foundation. Visit their website at http://sosthriftstorefoundation.org/how-to-donate to see which items are accepted. See you there! The RtS Club would like to give a huge thank-you to all UHill students, teachers, and staff who participated in last week’s girls’ education fundraiser by writing messages to the two high school students in Kenya and/or donating to support the students’ education. We raised a total of $380 and collected 25 messages. All proceeds will be sent to the non-profit organization One Girl Can and the messages will be delivered to the sponsor students, Kavutha and Sarah, this September. Until July, our club will continue the fundraiser in our community and receive donations and messages from community residents. Finally, our club is currently planning a Clothing Drive which will be held last week of school, so stay tuned! |
