Think Day

To Whom It May Concern:

We were able to bring Absolute into our school in March 2009.  I had been trying to raise money to bring them in since my SRC and I had seen them in Lloydminster at the National SRC conference.  I was delighted to learn that they would take a donation.  So, through SRC fundraising and backing from our local Credit Union, we were successful in bringing them in.

The presentation was fantastic.  It was showy enough to capture the interest of our students and, at the same time, was very educational.  Our students developed an entirely new understanding about what it means to be poor and stateless.  We have taught these concepts in our classes, but the pictures and stories from actual situations made these concepts real in the minds of our kids.

Some of our students were so captivated that we now have a group of teachers and students raising money to go on a Hero Holiday and build a school.

Bringing Absolute into your school or organization is a very worth-while endeavor, regardless of whether your students are spurred into action.  The knowledge that society can help people less fortunate and make a real difference in invaluable.  Having Absolute in our school made our community a better place just as Absolute’s work makes the world a better place.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Virginia Kostyniuk
St. Louis Community School
