The new school• Highlands is building

a new school in Eluaai.

• We need 2500 dollars to build the school.

• Please donate money to the school

• The kids there are desperate

Why?You should donate money for many reasons.First, they need an education so they can

have a job when they grow up and get out of poverty

Also, this area is in great hunger. If the kids go to school, they will get a meal.

Education can get you out of poverty!Getting an education can not only help make

the kids life happier, but it can help them actually live a life

Please donate money!The children of The Masai Tribe do not care

how small.They need you!
