Thanks to all of you who supported the O.A.R.-Facebook Campaign. Between EF’s Facebook Cause and website, we raised $2,096. Add that to the $5,000 from O.A.R’s Heard the World Fund, and exactly $7,096 was raised in just one month. This has been our most successful online campaign to date!! Thanks to all of you who contributed, and thanks to the Heard the World Fund.

This funding will support our refugee friends at Albert Street School. Their specific need at this point in time is food provision for their 200+ unaccompanied students. The ‘unaccompanied’ are refugee students without parental guidance. More often than not these children are orphans. In some cases the parental figure still resides in Zimbabwe. The staff at Albert Street provide 24/7 care for the ‘unaccompanied’ and thus the pressing need for food provision.

A huge thanks one last time to all of you who contributed! And of course a big thanks to O.A.R. This is just one more story about the power of a grassroots community!
