On tis handout there was

‘va horrifying picture. It was of

a starving family. at a refugee
camp in Dana, Ethiopia.

. As we read “through the —

article we learned that the
Mohammed family had lost
three out of five of their chil-
dren and all of their cattle
from starvation. Their family
and livelihood had been
destroyed. They were just a
few of cight million victims in

- Ethiopia alone.

er we Enished the arti-
cle, one of the students in our
class drew attention to the
address at the bottom of the
page.. It was for the Red

Cross. She suggested we

donate money as 4 class.
Another student suggested
we start. a school-wide
fundraiser.

The class, with the help of
Mr. Paterson, started. a
fundraiser. Throughout the
school, everyone was encour-
aged to contribute at least
one dollar. With all classes
helping, Caulfeild collected
over $700 in ovo days. On
April 24 the money was sent
to the Red Cross.
