The Children's School in Brooklyn, NY raises 3K for KCA!

The Children's School in Brooklyn, NY recently raised $3,862 for Keep a Child Alive! Mr. Joe and Miss Elena organized the fundraiser around lesson plans for their class that focused on "social issues. Mr. Joe and Miss Elena saw it as a great opportunity for their class to teach the rest of the school about HIV/AIDS in Africa. Four of their students visited each classroom to talk about Keep a Child Alive and screen a video clip of Alicia in Africa. They posted a giant bar graph in the school cafeteria to track how much money each class collected. The class that raised the most money won the choice to have a pizza or ice cream party. The fundraiser was a HUGE SUCCESS. Keep a Child Alive is inspired by how these children worked together to help keep our children in Africa and India alive and well.
