This past Wednesday members of the EA community delivered the donations to Casa Hogar Nazereth. This is an orphanage on the south side of the city. Ms. Moore, the fourth grade teacher, organized a food and clothing drive for the end of the year. They are pictured above with some of the orphans.

This has been a successful project for our community service program. Our students have learned valuable lessons! Many of our students will be the future leaders of Venezuela. They have to understand that the needs of the poor of the country have not been addressed throughout the history of Venezuela. The majority of Venezuelans are poor which is a shame in such an oil rich nation. EA is doing our part in helping them. A big thank you to Sherri, Jamie, and Sandra for assisting with the donations.
