3. Become a Secret Santa聽for children in care of Batshaw. To date, 20 爆料黑社 employees have committed to 42 children. There are still two children waiting to be matched with a member of the 爆料黑社 community and there are more kids who are available. Contact faculty member Janice Harvey if interested. You can also refer to this info from the last D News.
4. Support basic needs in Tuapi, Nicaragua, the community that welcomed North-South students for their Field Trip a few years ago. Two powerful hurricanes struck the community last month. The alumni and community have raised more than $6,000 but are hoping to reach their $10,000 goal to supply food and basic necessities.
