GAF Caring Kid Spotlight - Fall 2011 Maggie Rowen Horgan
Maggie is an active 5th grader at the Dallin Elementary School in Arlington Massachusetts. She was looking for a way to help out others and chose to collect items for the Guatemala Aid Fund. The items she collected were sent in packages with some essential health care items and new shoes for the children at Christmastime. Maggie coordinated a school wide collection and organized the items collected with her school to be sent to Guatemala. The participation was amazing! She is a role model for the other kids in her caring efforts and the response from the community was fantastic. Many members of the school have also been supportive in donating sports equipment for the sale and we thank Maggie and the Entire Dallin Community for their efforts at bettering the lives of the children in Guatemala.
Thank You and Bless you Maggie and the Dallin School!!!
GAF Caring Kid Spotlight - Spring 2011 Andrew Filipkowski
Andrew Filipkowski heard of the Caring Kids Club from his Mom Diana. Andrew decided that he wanted to help the kids in Guatemala and he chose to help with the collection of used sporting goods for the GAF spring sale. And boy, did he ever collect sporting equiment! Andrew and his family reached out to their entire community, and he collected a HUGE amount of equipment. When Diana pulled into the driveway with her SUV packed with skates, soccer balls, cleats, baseball uniforms, bats and much more (and much of it brand new), there was already enough for a successful sale. With the great donations from many other caring kids and people, the sports equipment sale was a great success. Andrew is a compassionate, helpful and active young man who took this opportunity to reach out to his community and help others. We are so proud of Andrew and thankful for his assistance in making the sale a succes. All of the money made went directly to the kids we support. On behalf of the kids in Guatemala that have benefited from your efforts: THANK YOU and BLESS YOU ANDREW!!!
