The following is an excerpt from a Peel/Unicef Newsletter sent home today, Tuesday April 28, 2015...
On Saturday April 25, 2015, a devastating 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal, affecting the area around the capital city of Kathmandu. The Nepal earthquake, and nearly 60 aftershocks, have caused substantial structural damage across Nepal, resulting in the deaths of over 4,000 people, with thousands more injured and displaced. Nearly one million children need immediate assistance. We need to reach them urgently with medical supplies, clean water and protection.
We can make a difference in the lives of children and their families.
Your child brought home a newsletter today explaining that the Peel District School Board has set Friday May 1st as Toonie Friday.
Our class discussed how much money our class could donate to Nepal if everyone brought in a toonie - $40.00!!
Helping out is easy! This is a completely VOLUNTARY campaign and any contributions are welcome! Whether you send in a loonie, toonie, or a cheque made out to our school, your contribution will make a difference!
Thank you for lending a helping hand to those who need it most!
