Pennies for Peace
Wednesday, March 17 2010 @ 11:59 AM GMT+5
Students at Franklin Elementary School gathered their spare change and donated to the Pennies for Peace Project. Pennies for Peace is a humanitarian campaign started by Greg Mortensen in which he has dedicated his life to promote education, especially for girls, in remote regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Students are partnering with the Rotary Club of Muscatine on this local effort. The Franklin Student Council presented $677.54 to the Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine towards this educational project which was deposited into the Rotary Club of Muscatine's Project Fund. Others interested in this important cause may also contribute. Just send your check to the Community Foundation and include a memo: Pennies for Peace or call us to make a credit card gift.
