This past Saturday Jen McEathron
and Kaitlyn Frost were tucked away in a corner of the Chatham Market, quietly
supporting third world development. They were seeking donations from those
passing by to help provide children in Uganda and Dominican Republic with
school supplies. The James M. Hill High School students are members of an
organization at their school called WRED. The goal of their on-going project is to
raise enough money to purchase 20 school supply kits for Uganda and 175 kits
for Dominican Republic. Each kit is valued at $20.00 and would include pencils
(12), erasers (2), pens (2), a book, ruler, writing notebook (4), pencil
crayons and pencil sharpener, all in a cloth drawstring bag. To find out more
about this and similar projects visit WRED . To view an interview with Mr.
Tyson Theriault, the teacher who is the leading this and other world development
projects at JMH, visit Interview
