Dear K-9 team – boy am I impressed! I think this is such a good experience for you – being compassionate for others and doing something about it is a step to being an excellent citizen for our country. You will appreciate that my students are sending two goats to a foreign country. One will feed a family of four milk and with their surplus they can sell/make cheese, yogurt, etc. And they can expect to have baby goats to sell or use for surplus sales. :-) This is the first year we’ve been able to purchase two so we’re excited about that…..we may also have enough to get a flock of chickens.

Good luck with your project – I’m really proud of you, Mrs. Ryan


Thank you for responding to our project Mrs. Ryan! I think that what your class is doing is really cool and could benefit a lot of people.

If you have response that you would like posted, leave it in a comment to a message or email me. We are looking forward to hearing about what you have to say about our project. The K-9s would also appreciate donation ideas to help collect money to send to Darfur.

Thanks!

1,2,3, GO!

Our project has officially been started! This morning was our first Darfur meeting. There were some excellent ideas expressed and put into action within 30 minutes. Imagine what a group of hard-working 7th grades can do in a month! As of today, the K-9 team has raised $17.00 to send to Darfur. We have many ideas to put into action.

For the rest of the week, the school's news will announce that we have a donation box in Mrs. McIntosh's classroom. We are hoping to place more boxes around HTMS very soon to collect more donations.

As of Monday, we will have a jar full of jellybeans at the school. You can pay 25 cents to submit a guess as to of how many jellybeans are in the jar. The student with the closes guess will win the jar. The objective is to give an incentive to learn about the issues in Darfur and to stop them.

Our campaign managers are in search of a guest speaker. They are looking for somebody who is passionate about spreading the word for this great cause. If you are available to help, please leave you're name and a way to contact you in the comment's section. We will be sure to get back with you soon.

Thank you to everyone who has helped to spread awareness about the issues in Darfur. Remember: spreading awareness does not mean creating a fundraiser. It means telling your friends and family about the second Holocaust occurring on our Earth. YOU play a big role in helping to find a cure for Dafur. Thank you!

Welcome!

Welcome to our blog! This has been put together for the K-9 team at HTMS to spread awarness of what's going on in Darfur. We plan to earn enough money to send to Darfur to contribute towards clean water, food, sanitation, education, and shelters. Our website is k9scontribute2crisis.weebly.com. Please help us in our efforts to spread awareness and stop the genocide in Darfur. Become a follower of this blog so that we can see how many people this message has spread to. We said "Never again" after the holocaust. Did it really mean never again? It's time for the genocide in Darfur to end.
