Good afternoon everybody,
I just wanted to inform folks that I have sent $175.00 (Habib's, Kebba
F's, Ousman's and F. Samateh's) contributions to Karamba, which he has
confirmed that he has received. The option to keep the contributions
coming in is still open so for those of you who are able, your money can
do great things for Armitage High School and no amount is too small or too
large for that matter.
Now the friendly reminder....
For those of you who have still not sent in your pledges, I am kindly
asking you to do so at your earliest convienence. The school needs every
bit of it and appreciates the help greatly.
IDEA----Please try this, it's too easy of a concept not to.
I have been seriously thinking about the question that Omar Joof raised in
regard to, "how do you get the masses to participate?" and one of the
things that comes to mind is you invite your children to get involved at
an early age. Sitting on my kitchen table is a container, called the
CHANGE 4 CHANGE: the Armitage Fund, which will remain on my table
indefinitely. I and my children will be collecting any spare change we
have and putting it in this container for Armitage. It is at the dinner
table so that my children can look at it and we can discuss the reasons we
are collecting. My children are extremely young so they might not
understand truly (except Hassan-he told me the other day to give up coffee-
he knows I am a caffeine addict) but, they will find change in every nook
and cranny and put it in the container. As they grow, it is my hope that
we carry on more meaningful discussions at the dinner table regarding why
we are doing what we are doing and how is it that we can make a difference
in the world we live in, etc., etc. Now, I have also contacted 3 local
businesses, and two of them, owned by the same individual, are willing to
put up a CHANGE 4 CHANGE container as well. The businesses have college
students as their primary customers so, I think it is also good to expose
them as well.
Thank you everyone,
