Raising Awareness

Fundraisers have been difficult for us now that basketball games are over so coming up with new fun ideas has been a slow process. While we are waiting for our brains to jump-start we have made a collection container that we placed in the office window at our school. Many people have asked us about it so I finally made a beautiful masterpiece lol. It does the job, and it has become weighted down with change. How great is that? We haven't even had to do anything and people are still wanting to make change for Africa!

Our school recently had an auction to raise funds for the next school year and the three of us got together and donated a Mocha Club basket. It was a bummer because we couldn't get it to work out to where the money donated for our basket would go to us, but we found it to still be a great opportunity to share with someone outside our school the need and a way to get involved. In our basket we put a travel mug, two coffee cups, a bean grinder, two bags of beans and a copy of our video. It didn't sell for as much as we would have like but nonetheless it was a great chance to get our cause into the hands of someone else.
