Many years ago a kind soul and social activist, Medgar Evers, fought for and lost his life fighting for social justice. A bright, thoughtful and articulate person did his part to move our country forward. Well, many years later his cause continues on the far southside of Chicago.
Medgar Evers is a school we have worked with over the past five years in terms of helping students who have a need for various supplies and resources.
The students and faculty at Medgar Evers decided to pitch in and raise funds for Bel Platon Community School in Haiti. The school and community was hit hard by Hurricane Matthew nearly a month ago. Hats off to the students and faculty for raising nearly $300!! Three hundred dollars in Haiti is an amazing amount of money and will do much to help the children of Bel Platon.
Talk about 'paying it forward!' Thank you Medgar Evers!!
