NO, I am not talking about basketball this time....this is something way more serious and important than basketball. (Just don't tell Carlton I said that. I mean, don't get me wrong, he supports the cause, but to him, there isn't much more important than basketball. (heehee!!))
These two girls from our youth group felt led to join this campaign that provides mosquito nets for various countries in Africa. You may have heard about the campaign, they are partnered with the NBA Cares program, the People of the United Methodist Church, Sports Illustrated and the United Nations Foundation just to name a few.
The girls set out on a mission with the goal of raising $5000 by Easter. They started selling snacks on Wednesday nights before Encounter to raise money and at first it seemed to be going pretty good. However, after talking to them last night, it seems as if it has kind of "died down" a bit.
If you can donate $10 or more, just go here. It is the dontation site for the team these two created. They have had some donations, about $200, that is not reflected online yet. Please help them if you can!
