What Free The Children Is, and What we're planning on doing

This year Credenda students have decided to join together and help children in some of the poorest regions of the world. We are doing this through Free the Children, a charity that improves the lives of chldren in third world countries by building schools, medical clinics, clean water supplies, and by creating and teaching alternate sources of income for to their parents, praticularily mothers. All of these efforts allow children in countries like Sri Lanka, China, Sierra Leone, and Kenya to be freed from child labour, and have a happier, healthier life. Right now the Credenda Free the Children team is working on a School vs. School challenge. The school that raises the most money wins a pizza party, so get involved and talk to the representative for your school about ways to raise money. If your school doesn't have a representative yet, think about getting involved and becoming one yourself! (email credendafreethechildren@gmail.com to become a member if you're not already) If you take school from home e-mail the Credenda free the children team for details about what we're doing for home e-learners! The School vs. School challenge will be from March 10th to May 10th.

We are also doing a online auction, From May 11th till the 15th, so if you have anything you can donate that's still in good condition like old electronics, Movies, CD's, Children's items (strollers, cribs, toys, etc.) or if you know anyone or any buisnesses that will donate items email the Credenda free the children team (credendafreethechildren@gmail.com)! All items need to be in by Monday May 6th in order for it to be included in the auction. More details will be in our coming up blogs!
