Probably the most unheard voices in this country are those of teenagers. Although young people have fresh ideas and are undergoing unique experiences, we often never actually listen to what they have to say. It we pay attention maybe we might actually be able to learn something from them.

Grand total: 108,053 pennies!
Today we went to TD bank and the people were so nice there! We raised a total of $1,080.53 or 108,053 pennies! Wow!
Team 3 raised $163.88
Team 7 raised $88.75
Team 6 raised $88.08
Team 1 raised $86.75
Team 2 raised $66.59
Team 5 raised $40.06
Team 4 raised $37.42
Before the campaign, when students were asked, "when you see a penny do you pick it up?" most students said no. Now we can see a penny can make a difference!
The best part of the campaign was all of the students working together to collect their spare change and donate it to a great cause. Everyone can donate a penny and everyone did--and more!
With this money, we can pay for a teacher in a village similar to Korphe for more than 3 years! We have given the gift of education and it feels good!
