Summer School Students Looking for Help Raising Money for Somalia Refugees

There is a war in Somalia. People are leaving the country. They don’t have food or water because they are leaving in a hurry. They are very hungry and thirsty. They have no shelter because they are traveling across the desert. There has been a drought in Somalia for many years. This has been very bad for the people. 

As residents of San Bruno, we know what it is like to survive a disaster. Some of our homes were destroyed. We were so grateful for all of the people who helped. The Somali people do not have anyone helping them in their community. It is up the people outside of the country to help. It seems like not many people are really caring at the moment.

As elementary, summer school students in San Bruno, we are trying to make a small difference. Our goal is to buy several tents using the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees website. We have created our group, and have raised $340.00 so far. Our class only has seven students, but we are determined to make a difference. We thought this project was a worthy one, and would make our summer school experience more worthwhile. Please help so we raise a tent for these families.
