Help a student, help children in Ethiopia

As part of a school project, Bektu Conley, a seventh grade student at Northwood Middle School in Spokane, WA is raising money for AHOPE for Children. As part of Charity Week at her school, she is trying to raise $500 to feed the children at AHOPE for one month. She chose AHOPE because she wanted to help them care for HIV positive children in Ethiopia. Like my son, Bektu was adopted from Ethiopia. She was adopted in 2008 at 12 years old.

AHOPE is an extraordinary organization. I have given to them in the past. Help Bektu exceed her goal.

To DONATE visit the webpage that Bektu created: here.
