School to school, and student to student: Get your school involved in building schools in South Sudan by holding a fundraiser or event to raise funds to give the gift of education to children in South Sudan.
St. Pius X High School in Kansas City, MO got involved in building the Manute Bol Turalei Primary School by raising $13,000. The “Letters of Compassion” student group, who works to spread awareness regarding social injustice, held numerous fundraisers, including “Jeans Day”, candy and coffee sales, and a Spring Bazaar and Craft Sale, among other events. “Because we believe that education is the key to a prosperous and peaceful future, this is the most meaningful gift that we can possibly help give to the children in the village of Turalei”, stated Meredith O’Malley, Co-President.
