From Morgan Hill to Africa
Teacher Melinda Merten’s fourth-grade class at Oakwood School raised $1,398 to support children in Africa. As part of their history unit on African kingdoms, the fourth grade decided to run a three-week, school wide fundraising campaign.

The children who will benefit reside in the township of Khayelitsha, one of the poorest areas of Cape Town with a population of approximately 400,000.
