Penetang Progress
Students in Michelle Foote’s grade 7 class at Monsignor Castex, Midland were busy writing a class penpal letter this past winter. They are anxiously awaiting the reply, which will accompany Christine on her return from Tanzania in August.
The second container currently sits in the Foote’s yard and is full. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept any more container donations at this time. The container will be shipped sometime in May and is due to arrive in Tanzania with Christine in July. A youth group from the Niagara area is being organized to help unload the container in Tanzania.
St. Louis French Catholic School in Penetang is continuing to raise money for Heart to Heart Africa and is anticipating Christine’s annual June visit.
Bayview Public School in Midland, Mikael Foote’s school, has asked Christine to speak to their Student Parlaiment about Heart to Heart Africa. Mikael hopes to encourage his Student Parliament to support Heart to Heart Africa through a fundraising event.
The artist-donated glass oil lamps continue to generate funds and are a big seller. If you have over-stock of unique artistic items, which you are willing to donate, please contact the Penetang group for consideration.
