| ZIMKIDS DOLL SALE TOMORROW! THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19th |
| Dennis Gaboury from Zimkids recently spoke to the 4th through 8th grades about a program he runs in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Zimbabwean children make dolls and wire toys which are then sold in the United States. The proceeds from each doll ($25) are used to purchase a month's worth of food for the children's families. The program also provides activities, leadership opportunities, and medical oversight for the children involved. More information can be found here and a brief video about the program can be found here. Ric Keeley, Acre Gourmet's chef at Town, sits on the Board of Advisors for Zimkids. Tomorrow we'lll hold a doll sale from 7:45-8:30 am and 3:00-4:00 pm in the lobby. Dolls cost $25 and checks can be made out to "Global Giving" with "Zimkids" in the memo line. |
