Kiwanis Club Donation

Well the trip is getting closer and closer. While we still haven't quite raised money enough to cover our costs for the trip, today we got a big boost from the Santa Monica Kiwanis Club. Four of us along with Ms. Kemp, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Harrison, went to the Kiwanis meeting. They made us feel really welcome and we had a delicious lunch. And oh yes, we were honored to have Dr. Sally Chou, the Chief Academic Officer for our school district also join us at lunch and she brought with her Dr. Tim Cuneo, our new Interim Superintendent for our school district. He has just arrived and we might have been the first students he has met. Hope he liked us. After lunch we did a shortened version of the presentation we will do in Abuja. It was a little hard because we had to talk really fast and since we weren't all able to attend, we had to fill it the speaking parts of our other teammates. They must have really liked us though because after we made our presentation, they presented us with a very, very generous donation check. THANK YOU SANTA MONICA KIWANIS CLUB!!!! So many people have been so supportive and generous with all kinds of donations. We will definitely be personally thanking all of you.
