Profile

Hi! I teach first and second graders at a small rural school in Western New York. I have the same class for two years which is so great!

Each year we try to do a global learning project to emphasize service, communication and empathy. We want our children to see beyond themselves...to the rest of the world. This year we are so happy to join givology in support of Circle of Peace School in Uganda, Africa. We want to help these children as much as we can to have a school and get an education.

There will be two other classes joining us in the project this year.

I hope you follow our journey throughout the year as we try a variety of activities to raise money for Circle of Peace School.

Circle of Peace School project is an educational initiative designed to provide kindergarten and elementary education. Currently, the existing location of the school will be unavailable after December 2009 because the school is being evicted from its existing property. As a result, the school is moving all primary school students to the Upper school where they will have to share space until new shelters can be provided for them. The Circle of Peace School is asking for help to start building structures to allow their students to continue their education. Most of their students are orphans, aids victims whose parents have died, and poor children who can’t afford to pay for education. Currently there are 105 students in the lower school and 100 in the upper school. With these funds, the school will purchase all the necessary materials to begin building.
