At a Canadian IB High School,
Edmonton, Alberta - December, 2008
Student, Helen Doan, took action and tells her story...

I first came across Schools for Salone during an in class project. Our task was to get into groups and pick a (NGO). We would then present that (NGO) to the class and the winning organization would be contacted and we would donate to them.

Unfortunately Schools for Salone did not win, so I made it my responsibility to contact this organization and hopefully raise awareness and donations for the children in Sierra Leone.   I contacted a wonderful woman, Cindy, and I received all the information and help I could possibly ask for.  I received Christmas cards which I sold with candy canes during the Christmas season.  I sold popcorn during school plays, cupcakes and cookies on Halloween and roses on Valentines Day. 

My total donation came to be 500$

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to be apart of this organization
