We are getting the boys involved in the Pennies for Peace drive to raise money for building schools in Pakistan and hoping our friends/family can help out. If you haven’t read, Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson, go get it…it’s the true story of this amazing man’s journey to build a school in a remote part of Pakistan and now he has gone on to build 55 schools and counting. He’s coming to speak on Bainbridge at the end of the month and I can’t wait to hear him. Anyhow, this is where our pennies will go.

What can you do to help? It’s easy…all you have to do is SAVE YOUR PENNIES and the boys and I will come by to collect them (they have decorated collection containers, they will help count out what they collect and will drop them off to the donation center). No amount too small, this is about teaching the boys about charity and helping other people. It’s going to be interesting because they love their coins and giving them up might be a struggle, but they are also excited about the idea of other kids having a new school to go to.
That’s the deal…let us know if you want to participate. We will be collecting pennies all week next week and the following week as well. If you are from out of town and still want to donate…you could send a dollar bill and I will exchange it for pennies at the bank.

Thanks,
Kendra
