The Friends of Rachel (FOR) Club at DVSS are helping to fill the cups of students in the Roatan, by emptying theirs for 24 hours.
The club has been involved with The Morgan Jayne Project for a number of years. Members of the DVSS club are participating in a 24-hour famine to support students. Their goal is to raise over $3,000, enough to support at least three youth access to education.
“We came up with the idea to raise money for The Morgan Jayne Project by doing a 24-hour famine. We did one last year and we are doing another one this year on March 11,” explains FOR president Savanna Richardson. “This year we are raising money to provide school supplies, books, etc., for children in Roatan.”
She says members of the FOR Club are impressed with the workThe Morgan Jayne Project does, and it is an easy organization to get behind.
“The Morgan Jayne Project is an amazing cause because they are locally based and do wonderful things in Roatan,” she said. “All money that is fundraised for The Morgan Jayne Project goes towards school supplies, teachers salaries, baby formula, etc. it’s a fantastic foundation.”
“Fred Makowecki (one of the founders of The Morgan Jayne Project) is so kind and is very open about what they do with all the money for the children in Roatan. I’m proud to support them and I will continue to support The Morgan Jayne Project for as long as I possibly can!”, she continued.
Makowecki is grateful for the support.
“Thank you to these amazing kids for reaching out to help us. With all the negativity in the world...here are kids showing us that the world is a shiny place. The future is better for having these kids in it, thank you so much,” he said.
Students participating have pledge sheets and will be collecting donations leading up to the event.
