The Global Education Club

This year there was a tight-knit group of friends: Justine, Natasha, Shea, Veronica, Jill Marie. They were very organized and dynamic, and met every second weeks with Kitty Cochrane facilitating. 

Accomplishments:

• Raffled a chocolate house and donated $9 to Jesuit Center for Social Faith and Justice for Guatemalan refugees

• Made and sold 100 calendars on Global Education issues, and raised $45 for Amnesty International (and they asked for our originals for their own distribution!)

• Wrote and videoed "The Glass Rap" for a Consumer Glass competition, encouraging curb-side pick up of recyclable glass

• Collected 35 pairs of used eyeglasses for sharing with needing eyes in developing countries through Canadian Foundation for World Development   

       

  Other school projects:

• Kitty Cochrane's Grade 2/3 raised $65 for "adopted" Elephant in Kenya through sale of baking and book marks

• Kitty Cochrane's  2/3 class raised $50 through used book sale for planting trees in Africa, with Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief
