So, we have some fundraising ideas for Cafacayo, such as sponsoring a child to go to school. It takes only $60 a month to pay a child’s tuition at a private school, books, uniform, materials, and food. The public schools are as follows: if a student arrives at a school after the first day of the school year, they must wait until the following year to enroll. This is an entire year the child is not learning and is had huge risk for getting involved in illegal activity. And even when the child goes to the public school it is usually a classroom of 60 students and one teacher. Now here is a private school: better quality education, children are allowed to enroll anytime during the school year and take an exam to place them into the appropriate class, and the usual class is about 20 students to one teacher. Bea is going to sponsor one of the children and Molly and I are going to see if our apartment wants to sponsor one, as well. If any of you out there want to sponsor a child, or even just give a little donation, please let us know. We have the contact information and everything and my e-mail is hvosborn@semesteratsea.net and Molly’s is mnsheetz@semesteratsea.net. We have been there and met the kids and the directors. This is not a fraud or anything like that; it goes directly to the kids. Or if you don’t want to give any money please give us your ideas! We have some ideas for fundraising and are going to look into starting a student org. back at UW, and we could always use as many ideas as we can get. J
