Compassion in Action

Once in a while, Siena and Aria like to set up a table outside their home and sell things.  These girls both attend the Oneness-Family School where all the students are concerned about how people in the Azawak cope without access to water and want to do something about it.

Since 2006, students at the school, with the help of their families and friends,  have raised over $25,000 by participating in A Walk for Water, Amman-a-thon Fitness Festivals, and other fundraising activities.  Last year those funds, pooled with money raised by over 60 schools around the world, was used to construct the Kijigari Montessori Well of Love that now fulfills the water needs of 25,000 people and animals.  Knowing that their money makes such a huge impact is a prime motivator for these students.

For their most recent sale, Siena and Aria held several bake sales and raised $42.37 for Amman Imman.    The girls also spread awareness about the Azawak by making a poster and handing out post cards to their customers.

We celebrate these acts of compassion! 

 Thank you to our Heroes of Compassion, Siena and Aria!
