Dear friends and partners, Its not often that you folks would get 2 newsletters in a row but I felt that this one was too good not too share. The Canadian International School in Singapore is having a fund raiser to raise money for houses and Tabitha programs. The teachers challenged the students to raise $800 for a house - if the students did so, one of the teachers would shave their heads. How did the students do?
                
Can you believe it - 4 hairless teachers - what a wonderful but dramatic gift? I was having lunch with a friend and was telling her about this - she asked me - would I shave my head for such a cause. I started to laugh and then said yes, but for a price. She started to giggle - how much? $100,000.00 said I, and not a penny less. I am no fool.
 
There are a great many stories to share such as this one, kids having bake sales, walkathons, swim-a-thons, savings - you name it.  I just want to say thank you to each one of you for your kindnesses and unique ways to fundraise.
