Thomas Lea, Second Grade Student at Five Oaks Academy, held a Toy Sale on Saturday, August 20, 2011 and raised $318.40.\u00a0 Friends, family and neighbors of Thomas joined him at this event. There was delicious food, fun, and toys.\u00a0 It was a huge success!<\/p>\n
The proceeds from this sale were donated to Wells of Love, the service learning program of Amman Imman.\u00a0 Amman Imman is dedicated to empowering the world\u2019s most under-served and vulnerable indigenous populations by addressing their most essential needs.\u00a0 Serving as a conduit between these populations and the rest of the world,\u00a0Amman Imman raises awareness and engages individuals of all ages to take action. \u00a0 Since 2006, Amman Imman has been supplying permanent sources of water in the Azawak of West Africa to save and improve the lives of the people living there. \u00a0Amman Imman has funded three wells, however, the Azawak needs many more wells and your students can be leaders in this grassroots cause.\u00a0Please visit\u00a0 www.wellsoflove.com<\/a>\u00a0 for additional information and resources.<\/p>\n Thomas said, \u201cI learned that sometimes it is easy to make a big difference!\u201d Five Oaks Academy is continually impressed and inspired by the initiative and enthusiasm of our students.
