Refugee Resource Drive
October 7, 2016
The last two summers I have gone to Greece and I have seen many of the refugees coming through trying to travel to safer places with their families. The Greek government set up campsites for all of the refugees to have a place to sleep until they could take a ferry off of the island. In just ONE day I saw over 200 families walking on the side of the road from one side of the island to the other trying to catch a ferry to the mainland in order to provide a better life for their families.
Haigh, Howard, and Howe Elementary schools are joining together to collect items for these refugees. We are collecting baby items, personal hygiene items, medical supplies, and food. We are collecting these items until October 14th. If you are interested in donating any items or want to learn more information about our refugee drive, you can check out the flier on the Haigh school blog.
Here is a link to the flier for your convenience:
