Thank You to Judge Memorial Students!

Our Health Clubs are especially important this year as Mali works to keep the pandemic at bay!

Well the students at Judge Memorial High School in Utah have done it again! During their recent Catholic Schools Week, the students raised nearly $3,400 dollars for our students in Mali! In a word: wow!

A few years ago, the students raised funds to help build a school for the kids of Sankama in Mali and ended up winning the naming rights to that school, which is now Judge Memorial Middle School. This year, the funds raised by the Utah Judge Memorial school will go to “adopt” their school in Sankama, supporting the school’s Health Club, textbook provision, teacher training, a scholarship for a graduate, and a series of take home workbooks for students. In addition, the students raised enough funds to underwrite the workbooks for several other schools.

Our sincere gratitude goes out to the students, parents, and staff at Judge Memorial High School for all of their support for our kids!
