Ms. So and I have been co-facilitating a philanthropy unit for the 4th grade class at our school in Richmond, CA. Students are learning about authentic partnership, non-profit work, service-learning, and the steps involved in the volunteer process. Their goal is to raise 85 pounds of donations for Los Quinchos (50 pounds of school supplies and 35 pounds of books in Spanish to add to Las Yahoska's library). Our amazing 4th grade class is well on their way to reaching this goal!
While collecting donations, our awesome students are reading first hand accounts of others engaging in international philanthropic processes. They are also learning about Nicaraguan culture and writing pen pal letters to the girls at Las Yahoskas.
